The Russian military repelled another wave of attacks and targeted Kiev forces in several directions across the front, Moscow’s Defense Ministry announced in a briefing on October 14.
In the Kupyansk direction, the Russian Zapad Group of Forces repelled seven attacks by Ukraine’s 14th, 32nd and 115th mechanized brigades close to Ivanovka, Sinkovka and Timkovka. A sabotage and reconnaissance group of Kiev forces was also targeted close to Liman Pervy.
Up to 215 Ukrainian troops were killed or wounded during the fighting in this direction, the ministry said, adding that one tank, two infantry fighting vehicles, three pickup trucks and one Polish-made Krab self-propelled howitzer were also destroyed.
In the Krasny Liman direction, the Russian Tsentr Group of Forces repelled two attacks by the 67nd Mechanised Brigade to the north of Serebryanka.
The group also targeted the positions of the 21st, 63rd and 67th mechanized brigades close to Torskoye, Yampolovka and Chervonaya Dibrova.
Kiev forces lost 30 troops, two infantry fighting vehicles, three armored fighting vehicles and two motor vehicles in this direction, according to the ministry.
In the Donetsk direction, the Russian Yug Group of Forces repelled one attack and targeted Ukrainian gatherings near Andreevka, Kleshcheevka, Kurdyumovka and Maryinka.
The ministry said that Ukrainian losses in this direction amounted to 185 troops, three armored fighting vehicles, two motor vehicles, two American-made M777 and D-20 towed howitzers, two Akatsiya and Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers and one Bukovel electronic warfare station.
In the South Donetsk direction, the Russian Vostok Group of Forces targeted gatherings from the 79th air assault and 72nd mechanized brigades near Ugledar and Nikolskoye.
The group’s strikes neutralized 170 Ukrainian soldiers, one infantry fighting vehicle, two armored fighting vehicles and three motor vehicles, according to the ministry.
In the Zaporozhye direction, five attacks by the 23rd, 118th mechanized brigades and the 15th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine were repelled by Russian forces close to Verbovoye and Rabotino.
At least 35 Ukrainian troops, one tank, two armored fighting vehicles, three pickup trucks, one Msta-B towed howitzer and one American-made M119 towed howitzer were destroyed in this direction, the ministry said.
Meanwhile in the Kherson direction, several gatherings of manpower and equipment from the 126th Territorial Defence Brigade were targeted near Berislav. In addition, a sabotage and reconnaissance group was targeted on the island of Alyoshkinsky.
Ukrainian losses in this direction amounted to 40 troops, eight motor vehicles, one Giatsint-B towed howitzer and three D-30 towed howitzers.
The Russian MoD also provided the following details during its briefing:
Operational-Tactical and Army aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, Missile Troops and Artillery of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation neutralized manpower and military hardware in 115 areas.
Air defense systems shot down 31 enemy unmanned aerial vehicles close to Nyrkovoye (Lugansk People’s Republic), Berestovoye (Kharkov region), Verbovoye, Romanovskoye (Zapororozhye region) and Peschanovka (Kherson region).
In total, 488 airplanes, 250 helicopters, 7,821 unmanned aerial vehicles, 441 air defense missile systems, 12,598 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,163 fighting vehicles equipped with MLRS, 6,764 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 14,230 special military motor vehicles have been destroyed during the special military operation.
In addition, Russian news sources shared videos showing recent airstrikes on Ukrainian positions, gatherings and ammunition depots in several directions.
The recent Ukrainian losses reflect the failure of the counteroffensive, which was launched by Kiev forces more than four months ago. While the Kiev regime is unlikely to acknowledge the defeat, worsening weather conditions will most likely bring the ill-fated counteroffensive into a full halt within a few weeks.
