Russia’s South group of troops repelled seven attacks in the Donetsk direction, while Kiev’s losses reached 210 soldiers, one tank and two M777 howitzers, the head of the press center of the group, Georgy Minesashvili said.

"In the Donetsk direction, the coordinated actions of units of the South group of forces allowed them to repel seven attacks by assault groups of the Ukrainian armed forces … The enemy lost up to 210 servicemen," Minesashvili said.

He added that the Russian artillery destroyed two M777 howitzers, two D-30 howitzers, one tank, two 120-caliber and one 82-caliber mortars and seven vehicles.

The latest details come as the Defense Ministry revealed that Russian forces took out storage facilities housing Ukraine's stash of depleted uranium, as well as centers specifically used for radio reconnaissance and training sabotage groups.

Despite raised concerns regarding the use of depleted uranium stores, the shipment was received not long after the US Department of Defense announced the weaponry would be included in its $175 million aid package in September.

Russia's Ministry of Defense published footage of a Russian helicopter destroying Ukrainian armored vehicles in the South Donetsk direction.

Helicopters are widely used in the special operation zone as a highly mobile reconnaissance and attack force.

While the much-touted counteroffensive effort launched by Ukraine in early June has had very poor results, the Kiev regime is desperately trying to sacrifice more of its soldiers to promote NATO interests.

At the same time, the unbowed Russian forces are repelling the enemy’s attacks, disrupting their plans, as well as inflicting damage on Ukrainian Nazis and mercenaries.
