Ukraine reports over 200 Russian troops killed in one day

According to the Ukrainian military, more than 200 Russian troops were killed and other pieces of equipment were also damaged on the previous day.

Although it was not confirmed, the military continued to assert that intense fighting had taken place on the frontlines across the country in the previous 48 hours, with more than 20 engagements mostly taking place in Lyman, Marinka, and Bakhmut in the Donetsk region.

The General Staff’s most recent report said that the Russians also conducted 25 airstrikes on Sunday.

In the Kharkiv neighbourhood of Kupyansk, where the Russians have been attempting to break through for more than a month, there had been intense Russian artillery and mortar bombardment, the military stated.

All Russian attempts to seize land, according to the General Staff, were unsuccessful.

The battle along the frontlines in Donetsk was defined by indirect fire exchanges but minimal movement.

The Ukrainians assert that they are in the lead when it comes to Bakhmut, however.

“(Troops) maintain the initiative, carry out assault operations, and drive the opposition back. According to Serhii Cherevatyi, a spokesman for the Eastern Grouping of the Armed troops, “Over the previous day, Ukrainian troops pushed 600 to 1,000 metres on the southern and northern sides of Bakhmut.

The General Staff said that Russian efforts to retake lost areas in the vicinity of Novodarivka in the south, where Ukrainian troops had tried to breach Russian lines, had also failed.

About 30 communities near the frontlines in the Zaporizhzhia area continued to be attacked by Russian fire, it claimed.

Russian soldiers reportedly failed to retake positions on the east bank of the Dnipro River near Kherson, which was flooded as a result of damage to the Nova Kakhovka dam on June 6. This was according to Nataliya Humenyuk, a spokesman for Ukrainian forces in the south.
