TheVoiceOfJoyce When reporting on the war in Ukraine, it isn’t enough to read one article and assume , that’s the news. Mea culpa. Russian troops are fighting and losing in the Donbas region. It’s not just the Wagner Group losing. Russian soldiers are taking a big hit. They’re using a lot of ammunition and tanks. Zelensky may be right, with the right weapons, Russia would be defeated in the Donbas region. Russia may have lost the entire 155 th Naval Infantry in Vuhledar. To Putin, everyone is expendable. To win, Putin’s plans to overthrow the Moldovan government were recently intercepted, yet, Belarus and Hungry are appearing to join him. Day 355 and war is hell and in flux, that’s war. Speculations without knowledge, are speculation, I will continue with only the facts, as we know them and wish the Ukrainian people success in ridding their Country of Putin’s war machine.

Russia ‘may have lost entire elite brigade’ near Vuhledar – report

Russia may have lost an entire brigade of the elite 155th naval infantry while storming the eastern Ukrainian city of Vuhledar, according to a report.

A “large number” of Russian forces, including the command staff, were “destroyed” near the cities of Vuhledar and Mariinka in Donetsk, a Ukrainian official, Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi, has told Politico.

He said Russia had also lost about 130 units of equipment, including 36 units of tanks, in the past week.

Russian forces were also losing 150-300 marines a day near Vuhledar, he said. He estimated the brigade to have comprised about 5,000 soldiers in all, whose members had been killed, wounded or taken prisoner.

Dmytrashkivskyi, head of the united press centre of the Tavriskiy district of Ukrainian defence forces, told the news website:

The 155th brigade already had to be restaffed three times. The first time after Irpin and Bucha; the second time they were defeated near Donetsk – they recovered again. And now almost the entire brigade has already been destroyed near Vuhledar.

He added that he wished western weapons would “come more quickly, as that would give us the opportunity not only to protect ourselves and hold the attacks but also finally push them out of our territory”.
