Russia's Defense Ministry Claims Ukrainian Forces Lost 1,300 Troops in 24 Hours
Moscow says it repelled a Ukrainian breakout attempt near Gogino in the Kharkov Region as part of broader claimed losses along the front line.
Russia's Defense Ministry said on Wednesday that Ukrainian forces lost approximately 1,300 troops along the engagement line over the past 24 hours, according to a report published by the state news agency TASS.
The ministry also said Russian forces thwarted an attempt by a Ukrainian military group to break out of an encirclement near the settlement of Gogino in the Kharkov Region, TASS reported, citing the Defense Ministry's daily briefing.
The claims were attributed solely to Russia's Defense Ministry and could not be independently verified. Ukraine's military has not yet responded to the reported figures, and there was no immediate comment from Kiev on the situation near Gogino.
Russian military officials routinely issue daily casualty estimates for Ukrainian forces as part of briefings on the conflict, though such figures are generally difficult to verify through independent sources and are often disputed by Ukrainian authorities.
The reported incident near Gogino adds to a series of claims by Moscow regarding encirclement operations in the Kharkov Region, an area that has seen sustained fighting throughout the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
