The Russian forces launched a fierce attack with leveling bombardments in Zaporizhzhya, initially forcing the Ukrainians to retreat from Verbovo and the 1st line of defense.
The information about the Ukrainian losses is shocking.
In a 6-kilometer circle between Malaya Tokmachka and Rabotino, according to the LOSTARMOR website, at least 120 armored vehicles and tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed.
This is the minimum estimate, considering only confirmed damaged armored vehicles based on geolocation.
This means that the actual number of damaged armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine may exceed this figure several times.
One way or another, the main armored reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been destroyed in a tiny area in the Zaporizhia region for three months.

According to information, at least four settlements, Pyatikaki, Urozain, Staromajosk and Rabotino are now "No Mans Land". Practically there is nothing left to remind that these settlements once existed in Zaporizhia.
Until a few hours ago, the Russian Air Force carried out a series of airstrikes with FAB-500 bombs weighing 500 kg on places of accumulation of manpower and military equipment, as well as on ammunition depots of the Ukrainian army in these settlements in the Zaporizhia region.
"The Russian troops pushed back the Ukrainian forces from the village of Verbovo in the direction of Orekhovo and captured several fortresses in this area," said the head of the "We are with Russia" movement, Vladimir Rogov.
"Positions have improved near the village of Verbovo in the Orekhovsky direction. Our army attacked and drove the enemy from the village, capturing several forts. Bloody battles continue there, but our children are holding their positions ," Rogov told RIA Novosti.
According to him, the fighting in the Orekhovo direction also continues in Rabotino
"The situation is controlled by our army. The enemy, having suffered colossal losses, cannot improve his position ," Rogov emphasized.
