Ukraine: Residential building in Zelensky’s hometown engulfed by flames after deadly strike
Corpses of dead Russian soldiers are strewn along the roads leading into the recently recaptured Ukrainian village of Storozheve, alongside burnt-out armoured vehicles.
Other remains of the Russian troops fighting in the sector were found dumped in the grass and fields nearby where they died, according to Reuters.
“Three days ago we liberated the village of Storozheve. You can see for yourselves how it was achieved. You can see the destroyed hardware. Glory to Ukraine,” a Ukrainian soldier who gave his name as Artem told the news agency.
This comes amid claims from Ukraine that the Russian forces are losing almost nine times more soldiers than Ukraine.In Khortytsia in Bakhmut “the enemy has 8.73 times more dead, almost nine times” [more than Ukraine], Ukrainian deputy defence minister Hanna Malyar said.
But on Tuesday, Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine’s human losses were 10 times higher than Russia’s since the start of Kyiv’s counteroffensive.
On the battlefield, Ukraine has reported incremental advances in its counteroffensive against Russian forces in what it described as “extremely fierce” fighting.
