The Russian military has inflicted more human and material losses on Kiev forces in different directions within the special operation zone.
The Zapad Group of Forces announced on July 21 that its Su-34 fighter bombers had launched airstrikes against a gathering of Ukraine’s 36th Separate Rifle Battalion near Kolodyazi in the Kupyansk direction.
The artillery of the group also thwarted an attempt to rotate units from the 32nd Separate Mechanized Brigade at the front near Novoselovskoe.
In addition, the artillery shelled the positions of the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade and territorial defense units close to Rozovka, Stelmahovka, Sandy and Kotlyarovka.
Ukrainian losses in this direction amounted to a platoon of infantry, an American-made M113 armored personnel carrier and an ammunition depot.
In the Dvurechensky direction, the group’s units captured five strongholds and four observation posts near Masyutovka and Sinkovka. Kiev forces lost more than an infantry platoon, a Polish-made Krab self-propelled howitzer and an American-made AN/TPQ-50 counter-battery radar. As a result of counter-battery fire close to Tishchkovka, a Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer was also destroyed.
Moreover, a Buk air defense system of the group shot down a Ukrainian Mi-8 over Kutkovka and a Leleka 100 reconnaissance drone over Liman. A Tor-M2U air defense system also shot down a A1-CM Furia reconnaissance drone over Veliky Vyselok.
Meanwhile, the Russian Yug Group of Forces announced that it had repelled seven attacks by Kiev forces in the directions of Lisichansk, Avdeevsky and Maryinsky. The group’s aviation also destroyed two armored combat vehicles near Kurdyumovka and Kleshchievka.
In addition, Tornado-S heavy multiple rocket launchers of the group targeted a fuel and lubricants warehouse of the 77th Separate Airborne Brigade near Druzhkovka.
During counter-battery fire, the group’s artillery targeted Ukrainian firing positions near Vyemka and Seversk, an armored personnel carrier close to Krasnoye, Polish-made Krab, American-made M019 self-propelled howitzers and a 120 mm mortar near Pervomaisky as well as two Msta-B towed howitzers near Ostrogo and Far in the Maryinsky direction.
The group’s air defenses also shot down four drones in the Lisichansk and Soledaro-Artemovsk directions. Moreover, TOS-1 heavy rocket launch systems of the group targeted a gathering of manpower and equipment close to Maloylinovka.
Meanwhile, new videos that surfaced online showed recent strikes with Lancet loitering munitions against five pieces of equipment of Kiev forces, including two main battle tanks, two howitzers and an infantry fighting vehicle.
Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which began more than six weeks ago, appears to be failing. Despite sustaining heavy human and material losses, Kiev forces have not yet made any meaningful gains on the ground.

the great offensive is going so poorly that washington and kiev are pointing fingers at each other now. kiev says that they are not getting enough weapons and washington is saying that ukro goblin soldiers are incompetent and arent following their training properly.
well actually it turns out both are correct. kiev is getting just enough weapons to keep the war going but not enough to achieve anything, and the ukro soldiers are indeed incompetent.
wagner set to blitz kiev and clownboy is scared, especially since he is now considered an ungrateful loser
to be fair, the combined arms doctrine only works if you have air superiority and overwhelming fire support from artillery. the ukrainians lack this.
the sooner kiev terrorists sue for peace the better. one site lists expected ukrainian gdp to drop by by 28% by 2030, the only country out of 140 to achieve a drastic fall by decades end. the demographic picture is also ruined, millions will never return. future generations will inherit nothing but pain and misery.
i’m beginning to think these r tards from nazilandia are not going to reclaim more than ten metres before the last tard expires. we should have hired child soldiers from nambia, capable military combatants instead of these whining begger boys from the planet dipshit.
cnn reporting that prigozhin made public appearance. three days ago us army general testified that putin’s men have killed prigozhin. how come prigozhin resurrected on third day?
ghost of kiev. need i say more.
it’s interesting that tomsawyer only posts on certain southfront articles.
sem chance para putin: o mais importante arsenal russo explodido hoje pelo storm shadow da ucrânia! putin está perdido. os soldados russos estão com medo, com a moral baixa, sabem que vão morrer na ucrânia, falam que é uma guerra sem sentido, injusta, um erro catastrófico.
