MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Russian army has entered the village of Rabotino in the Zaporozhye Region and keeps advancing in this direction, with the Ukrainian armed forces losing «thousands» of people and a huge amount of equipment, regional Governor Yevgeny Balitsky told Sputnik on Sunday.
«The village of Robotyne until recently remained the main symbol of the summer counteroffensive for Ukraine: the Ukrainian armed forces paid a heavy price of thousands of human lives for this piece of crippled land and lost a huge amount of equipment. And as it turned out, in vain! The situation at the front has changed radically: our valiant soldiers entered Rabotino, completely neutralizing the short-term success of the Ukrainian armed forces,» Balitsky said.
The Russian army continues to systematically and persistently advance in this direction, «grinding down» the Ukrainian forces, the official added.
