According to some reports, like one from Defense Express, units of the Russian army, which attempted to cross the Seversky Donets near the village of Belogorovka, Luhansk region, suffered a total loss.
Russian troops invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is now calling a “special military operation” to “protect Donbas”.
From 24th February to 9th May, the total combat losses of Russian troops stand at around 25,650 personnel, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
