Military Overview: Ukrainian Losses On Russian Territory (18+)
Kiev’s attempt to hide its defeat in Bakhmut was costly. The group of Ukrainian servicemen that crossed Russian border and attacked the villages in the Belgorod region was destroyed.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the saboteurs were “thrown back from the Belgorod region to the territory of Ukraine.” During the Russian security operation, 70 saboteurs were killed, 4 IFVs and 5 pickups were destroyed.
The attack was aimed at gaining large hype in the media. That’s why Ukrainian militants were actively filming their actions, sharing glorious videos online.
Here are Ukrainian servicemen moving in a village on an armored vehicle:
The main Ukrainian stronghold during their attack was the Graivoron checkpoint. Most of Ukrainian photos and videos were made here, while smaller assault groups were ‘storming’ the villages nearby:
While Ukrainian media attempted to deny the reports of the Russian Defence Ministry sharing these old videos and claiming that Ukrainian forces were still in control of the Russian territory. However, new footage from the area confirmed that the Ukrainian grouping was destroyed or pushed back to Ukraine:
Footage from the region confirmed the following Ukrainian losses:
- 2 American M1224 MaxxPro (both captured);
- 2 American HMMWV M1151A1 (both damaged and abandoned);
- 1 American HMMWV M1152A1 (destroyed);
- 1 Ukrainian KRAZ COBRA (destroyed);
- 1 Polish AMZ Dzik-2 (destroyed).
Heavy human losses were also confirmed by the photos. These are corpses of Ukrainian fighters who fought on the border, distracting the Russian military from the Ukrainian assault groups:
In the afternoon of May 23, the governor of the Belgorod region examined the trophies. He also reported that residents of Grayvoron and Golovchino returned to their homes. Transfer of civilians back to the villages of Gora-Podol, Glotovo and Kozinki is underway.
The restoration of electricity supply is ongoing. Tomorrow the local services will begin a house-by-house inspection of the territory, since a lot of houses and cars have been destroyed. The governor promised to restore everything quickly.
