A real massacre for the Ukrainians, who lost more than 4,500 soldiers on the front of military operations in the previous days.
Ukraine lost more than 1,560 soldiers in the Donetsk direction last week, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on Friday (12/8/2023).
In the given time period, the Russian armed forces repelled 19 attacks by Ukrainian troops in the direction of Kupyansk and 18 attacks in the direction of Donetsk.
"The total losses of the Ukrainian armed forces in the direction of Donetsk amounted to more than 1,560 servicemen, 12 armored fighting vehicles, 17 vehicles and 22 field artillery guns," the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Kiev also lost almost 1,500 soldiers in the Krasny Liman direction, almost 900 soldiers in South Donetsk, up to 350 soldiers in Kherson and up to 260 soldiers in the Zaporizhia direction.
According to reliable information, the general attack of 40,000 Russian troops on Avdifka has begun. The third and final phase of the Russian operation involves closing the "tangle" around the city and seizing the coke factory.
The situation for the Ukrainians has worsened dramatically in the last 24 hours on their northern flanks and the coke factory while they are in danger of losing the City Guard supply hub that passes through the settlement of Ocheretino.
However, the picture is not better in the rest of the settlements. Russian forces besiege the Pervomaiskoye, Nevelskoye, Severny areas. The capture of Severny will "lock" the encirclement of Avdifka.
Russian troops seized the factory's waste water tanks and entered the Novokalinovo sewage treatment plant.
According to the Ukrainian administration, Russia has sent more than 40,000 troops in the direction of Avdifka
This was stated by the official representative of the defense forces of the Tavria Directorate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Shtupun.
"The situation in the region of Avdifka is difficult. Very hard. The Russians do not stop mass attacks using the full range of weapons. Unfortunately they are making progress and are moving gradually. It is unknown whether we will keep Avdifka…”Ukrainian military sources say.

The UN caught between a rock and a hard place. The usual diatribe and actions against Israel in contrast to zilch concerning Russian aggression will end the UN as a functioning body and joyfully end up in the dustbin of history along with the League of Nations.
