Ukrainian defenders continue to hold the last line of defense in the Luhansk region. In this direction, the Russian forces are deploying three of their armies simultaneously, according to the Third Army Corps (formed on the basis of the 3rd Assault Brigade) on Telegram.
According to the Third Army Corps, together with the 60th, 63rd, and 66th brigades, they managed to hold their positions in the Luhansk region. There, they are facing three Russian armies simultaneously: the 20th, the 1st Tank Army, and the 25th — each of which may number between 20,000 and 50,000 troops.
In just over a month on this front, Ukrainian soldiers have destroyed:
-
Nearly 2,000 troops (with about 1,500 more as enemy medical casualties);
-
664 units of equipment and weaponry (with another 385 damaged);
-
4,217 drones of various types (with 41 more suppressed or destroyed).
The Third Assault Brigade explained that Ukrainian defenders are preventing the enemy from breaking through to the strategic hub of the Sloviansk-Kostiantynivka agglomeration. The units are successfully holding the defense, launching counterattacks, and regaining positions under their control.
