Fighting continues in Zaporozhye region, AFU units suffer losses
20.06.2023
In Orekhov area, the enemy lost dozens of foreign-made hardware and hundreds of Ukrainian servicemen, attempting to launch an offensive on Russian positions.
During an unsuccessful offensive, Southern MD's servicemen of 58th Combined-Arms Army and Vostok-Akhmat battalion took servicemen of Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) 65th Mechanised Brigade prisoners.
Twice their commanders deceived them with reinforcements and actual Russian Forces strength in that area. Otherwise, there would be no one willing to launch an offensive at our defensives.
krainian unit commanders employ familiar tactics: they sent soldiers at the zero line, knowing they will not return.
AFU servicemen were told that they were to hold the second line of defence, as an infantry battalion should. But when the attack was thwarted, the servicemen made a decision to march with unit strength they had. Personnel refused to go on the offensive and their commanders were forced to gather their men all along the front.
Looking back now, the captured AFU soldiers realise that they have been deceived, regarding assessment of the Russian Forces manpower and the strength of NATO weaponry.
