Putin: Ukrainian Troops Attack on Zaporizhzhia Failed

  The President of Russia announced the intensification of clashes between the armed forces of his country and Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhia region, and stated that the offensive of the Ukrainian military forces in this area was unsuccessful. More than a year has passed since the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out. This war started because NATO ignored Russia's security concerns, and Moscow attempted to disarm Kyiv.

General Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense, announced late Wednesday that a massive attack by tanks of the Ukrainian army in the Zaporizhzhia region and the death of more than a hundred Ukrainian soldiers resulted from the attack by Russian troops. "Russian troops in this battle destroyed 22 tanks, 10 armored personnel carriers and one armored vehicle, destroyed Ukrainian troops and successfully defended their positions," Russian defense ministry spokesman Vladimir Putin told a press conference on the sidelines of the Russian Economic and Humane Forum. -Second Africa in St. Petersburg on Thursday (27/7/2023) said, "This massive Ukrainian counteroffensive started on July 4, but all their efforts were unsuccessful and the Ukrainian troops were pushed back with heavy losses."

"The casualties from the Ukrainian troops were very high at more than 200 people. Russia also suffered casualties, but the number was not large which was 10 times lower than that of the Ukrainians," Putin said. Despite widespread propaganda from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and European and American nations about sending extensive military aid to Ukraine, military analysts and experts believe that this weapon is barely functional against Russian forces.

Belgian security expert Pierre Enro recently revealed, "NATO member states are selling obsolete weapons to Ukraine to replace them with more modern equipment in their armies,". "France and Germany have sent decommissioned weapons to Kyiv, which are almost unusable," he stressed. Western countries have also been supplying Ukraine with modern weapons, although most of them are light and anti-personnel weapons.
