During the attack on this city in the Donetsk region, the enemy lost at least 17 thousand military personnel killed. This was stated by the representative of the operational-strategic group of troops “Tavria” Dmitry Likhovoy, BBC reports.
During the capture of Avdeevka, 17 thousand Russian soldiers were killed,” he noted.
In total, in the battles for Avdeevka, the occupiers lost at least 47 thousand soldiers, officers and mercenaries.
Let us recall that on February 17, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, said that the Defense Forces left the city to avoid encirclement by the enemy. President Volodymyr Zelensky said leaving the city was a logical and professional decision for the sake of military lives.
The Center for National Resistance stated that Kremlin propagandists were given the task of clearing the information space as much as possible of real data on losses in Ukraine.
However, the CNS stated that the Russian command used GRU special forces for “meat assaults” during the battles for Avdeevka. Thus, Moscow has actually partially lost the combat capabilities of the best units of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.
