Ukraine's defenders have gained new territorial gains in Donetsk region and replenished their exchange fund. Soldiers of the 225th Separate Territorial Defence Brigade advanced north of Orikhovo-Vasylivka and took control of height 224.0.
This was reported on the Telegram channel of DeepState, a thorough analytics company. They also showed photos of the occupiers' prisoners.
The soldiers also showed trophy chevrons.
"Among the Rashist units are the following: 200th motorised rifle unit, as well as a bunch of PMCs - Wagner, Veteran and Irbis. The latter are still a mystery to us," the military said.
As a reminder, on the morning of 19 June, the Ministry of Defence confirmed the liberation of the village of Pyatykhatky in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Over the course of two weeks of offensive operations in the Berdiansk and Melitopol areas, Ukrainian troops have de-occupied 8 settlements.
The defenders of Ukraine showed a video from the liberated Pyatykhatky. They noted that Kremlin soldiers were fleeing from there, abandoning weapons, ammunition and equipment. The settlement was de-occupied by the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade and the 2nd Separate Rifle Battalion on 18 June.
As reported by OBOZREVATEL:
- "During the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Defence Forces against the Russian troops, our army lost less than 10% of the equipment received from Western partners. However, the figure may increase, as this is an inevitable consequence of any offensive;
- The Russian military is taking its wounded near Vasylivka in Zaporizhzhia and the "200s" to the temporarily occupied Melitopol. Buses and ambulances literally flew into the city the night before.
