The war in Ukraine – news

As UNIAN reported, earlier today, June 8, in its morning briefing, the General Staff reported that the Russian occupiers were not prepared for the consequences of blowing up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station dam. They suffered losses in manpower, weapons and military equipment.

In particular, there are dead, wounded and missing in units of the 7th Airborne Assault Division and the 22nd Army Corps of the Russian Armed Forces. In addition, several field warehouses with ammunition and provisions, automobile and armored vehicles, as well as other military property were lost in these units.

Regarding the situation at the front, the General Staff reported that 30 combat clashes took place over the past day. Despite numerous failures, the Russians have still not given up their plans to invade Donetsk and Luhansk regions. And the terrorist and leader of the “DPR” militants, Denys Pushylin, even dreamed of capturing Ukraine “at least along the Dnipro”.
