“The Kyiv authorities are hiding the catastrophic losses of the Ukrainian troops during the attempts to attack in the Kherson region,” RIA Novosti quotes Stremousov.
According to him, since the end of August, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost about 3 thousand military personnel and about 100 units of foreign military equipment, including German and Polish ones.
On September 1, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that Ukrainian troops had been conducting new unsuccessful attempts at offensive operations in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction for 24 hours.
According to the ministry, the losses of Ukrainian troops per day amounted to more than 350 people.
Prior to this, the Ministry of Defense reported that Russian troops destroyed more than 1.7 thousand Ukrainian soldiers in two days of unsuccessful attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog and other directions.
