The department added that Russian troops destroyed 28 tanks, including eight Leopard tanks.
Reflection of raids in Kyiv
On the other hand, the military administration of the Ukrainian capital reported on the Telegram app that air defense systems intervened to repel airstrikes in the Kyiv region early Tuesday morning.
Yesterday, Monday, Ukraine announced successes in the area of the city of Bakhmut, which witnessed great destruction in the east of the country, while reducing the volume of “offensive actions” unfolding elsewhere on the front, and Russia confirmed that it had repelled major attacks.
counterattack
For months, the Ukrainian authorities have been reaffirming their readiness to launch a major counterattack aimed at forcing Russian troops to withdraw from the territories they occupied.
Although the Bakhmut sector is still, according to Kiev, the “focus of hostilities”, after being the scene of the longest and bloodiest battle in this war, and Moscow said it took control of it in May.
Also two weeks ago, there was an increase in shelling and explosions in the Russian region of Belgorod, on the border with Ukraine, during the fighting between the Russian army and pro-Ukrainian Russian militants. As a result of strikes in the area, several civilians were killed and dozens were injured.
