“The enemy is clearly exhausted, so a large number of mercenaries appear in the army group they formed,” he said.
According to Balitsky, if the enemy spends about five thousand soldiers, he will not be able to carry out defensive actions.
The official noted that Russian troops maintain their positions and are at command heights.
Balitsky also added that in a couple of weeks the autumn thaw will begin in the region, which will make it almost impossible for the enemy to move long distances.
According to the estimates of the acting head of the region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost ten thousand people in the “meat attacks” near Rabotin.
