Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday that the eastern Donetsk region remains the “epicenter” of Russia’s hostilities against Ukraine, where hundreds of Russians die every day, Reuters reports.

“Donetsk remains the epicenter of the greatest madness of the occupiers,” Zelenskyy said in his evening video message. “Hundreds of them are killed every day. The land in front of the Ukrainian positions is full of corpses of the occupiers.”

The cities of Bakhmut and Avdiivka are centers of the fiercest fighting in the Donetsk region.

A new video shared on social media shows how Ukrainian military personnel throw all their weapons into battle during an attack on an armored column of the Russian army in the Donetsk region.

The excellent video footage shows how two Russian T-72B3 tanks and three BMP-2 tanks were damaged as a result of hitting mines and defeating the artillery and anti-tank installations of the 72nd OMBr of Kyiv.

In an unusual way, the Russian Ministry of Defense denied reports by Russian military bloggers that a marine unit had lost hundreds of people. The ministry rejected the bloggers’ claims that the Pacific Fleet’s 155th Marine Brigade suffered “significant and unjustified losses in men and equipment.”

The battle for the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut has intensified as Russian forces led by Wagner’s mercenaries are desperate to capture the strategically important city so the Kremlin can tell the Russian public of another front-line victory.

The General Staff of Ukraine reported on November 7 that since February 24, Russia has lost 76,460 military personnel in Ukraine, as well as 2,771 tanks, 5,630 armored fighting vehicles, and 1,782 artillery systems.
