The Russian Defense Ministry reported that more than half of the personnel of the Ukrainian brigades were destroyed in two directions.
Ukrainian nationalists began to flee en masse from the positions of two directions of advancement of Russian troops at once: Artemovsky and Avdeevsky. Igor Konashenkov, official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, spoke about this at a briefing on August 11.
He stressed that more than half of the personnel of the two brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed in these areas.
“As a result of active offensive combat operations of the allied forces, more than 50 percent of the personnel in the 14th and 66th mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Artyomovsky and Avdeevsky directions were eliminated. Mass desertion and unauthorized abandonment of their positions by the nationalists are recorded,” Igor Konashenkov said.
