Russia for the second time officially released data on its losses – 1351

Russia officially announced its losses in Ukraine for the second time: 1351 servicemen were killed and 3825 were wounded. The data was published at today’s briefing by the head of the operative general department of the Russian General Staff, General Sergey Rudsky.

498 victims were first reported on March 2. The Ukrainian side claims that the losses of the Russian army have exceeded 16 thousand. The Russian Defense Ministry does not comment on this, presenting large numbers of losses of the Ukrainian army. Sergei Rudsky said today that the Ukrainian army and the National Guard claimed 14,000 lives. But this is not confirmed by the Ukrainian side either.

Sergei Rudski did not rule out attacks on besieged or semi-besieged Ukrainian cities, but noted that the main forces and means will be focused on “the complete liberation of Donbas.”

At a joint press conference, Defense Ministry spokesman General Igor Konashenkov said that the “special operation” in Ukraine was proceeding according to the approved plan.

Russia calls the invasion of Ukraine a “special operation”, banned it inside the country, and even imposed a punishment for using the word war.

There have been no significant changes in the war situation in recent days, no major movement of troops. There are battles of local significance. Russia continues its long-range bombing tactics.

Russia’s Defense Ministry has released a video of the launch of Iskander missiles, claiming that they hit a mercenary camp in the Ukrainian army. However, in the video published today, there is no information about the specific place and time of the rocket attack.

Igor Konashenkov, presenting the results of the latest hostilities this morning, said that a large fuel base of Ukrainian forces was destroyed last night. “On the evening of March 24,” Caliber “high-precision cruise missiles hit the fuel base near Kalinovka near Ki. “The large fuel base left to the Ukrainian army, which supplied fuel to the troops of the central regions of Ukraine, was destroyed.”

He also said that Russian forces had advanced 4 kilometers in Donetsk region last night. 15 armored vehicles of the Ukrainian army were destroyed by night helicopter strikes: tanks and armored vehicles. Last night, Russian forces struck a total of 51 Ukrainian military targets, Konashenkov said, as he has always listed the military losses of the Ukrainian side since the beginning of the war, which, according to today’s data, already exceeds three thousand.

But regardless of the sources, the data presented by both the Russian and Ukrainian sides cannot be clarified.

According to today’s information of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in the past day the Ukrainian army repulsed nine attacks of the enemy, destroyed more than three dozen military equipment – tanks, armored vehicles, artillery systems – about 200 soldiers.

In the north, the Ukrainian forces hold the city of Chernigov, stop the advance of the enemy in the direction of Ki. Defensive operations are underway in the eastern direction.

The head of the military administration of the Kharkov region Oleg Sinegubov informs on his Telegram channel page that during the past day Russian forces hit Kharkov 55 times, 6 civilians were killed and 17 were wounded. He said that Russian forces hit the Kharkov airport with “Grad” and “Hurricane” volley fire systems.

The city of Chernigov in northern Ukraine is one of the most affected by Russian shelling. Ukrainian MP Alexei Goncharenko released a video showing the destruction of the city. He քաղաքապետ the mayor of Chernigov drove through the streets of Chernigov and filmed the ruined city.

The British military intelligence publishes daily analyzes of the war in Ukraine. A brief summary published today states that the Ukrainian army managed to push back the Russian forces up to 35 kilometers east of the Ki approaches. In the south of Ukraine, Russian forces are trying to bypass the city of Nikola on land near Odessa.

The Institute for War Studies, an independent U.S. think tank, said Ukrainian forces had forced Russian troops northwest of Ki to defend themselves, thus preventing the blockade of the Chernigov region.

And in the south, besieged in Mariupol, the Russian forces moved forward, entering the city center on March 24, the Ukrainian local government left the city.

However, the Mariupol city council said in a statement that about 300 people had been killed in a Russian rocket-propelled grenade attack on March 16 and that hundreds of people had gone into hiding in the basement. But Mariupol city council cites eyewitnesses, regardless of other sources, it is impossible to verify the information about 300 victims.
