The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the report of the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, calling it 'outright lies and an attempt to present wishes as reality'. According to the General Staff, Russian troops have not gained full control over any major city, despite the enemy's claims. This was reported by 'Glavkom' citing the General Staff.
According to the General Staff, since the beginning of 2025, in battles in Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk regions, the Russian army has lost nearly 210,000 of its soldiers killed and wounded. The total losses of the enemy during this period amounted to more than 291,000 individuals. Furthermore, Ukrainian forces destroyed and damaged 1,201 tanks, 2,174 armored combat vehicles, 7,303 artillery systems, and 157 multiple launch rocket systems.
Active actions of Ukrainian forces in Sumy region
Ukrainian forces are successfully conducting military operations in the Sumy region, liberating Kindrativka and Andriivka and outpacing the enemy from other border settlements.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces identified the statements about the creation of 'security zones' and 'destruction of the Ukrainian missile industry' as 'fake reports'. The threats to Ukrainian security were best refuted by strikes on military facilities deep in the rear of Russia. In addition, the statements about 'exclusively high-precision strikes on military facilities' were also refuted by the General Staff, which emphasized the thousands of lives lost by Ukrainians as a result of the attack on Kyiv on August 28.
It should be noted that in the past day, 182 clashes were recorded, during which Ukrainian defenders continue to effectively resist the occupiers, inflicting significant losses on the enemy side and meticulously defending their territory.
