UK Intelligence Says Ukraine, Russia Are Suffering Heavy Casualties During Kyiv's Counteroffensive

 

Reuters: Ukraine says eight villages retaken from Russian forces in two weeks 

KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine said on Monday it had driven Russian forces from an eighth village in its two-week-old counteroffensive, a settlement on a heavily fortified part of the front line near the most direct route to the country's Azov Sea coast. 

A Russian-installed official said on Sunday that Ukraine had taken control of the village, Piatykhatky, in the southern Zaporizhzhia region. He later said Moscow had pushed them out and on Monday morning he said Ukraine was attacking again. 

Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said Ukrainian forces had not only retaken Piatykhatky but had advanced by up to seven km (4.3 miles) into Russian lines in two weeks, capturing 113 square km (44 square miles) of land.

Approx ~400 vehicles destroyed out of ~3000 available for this offensive. Tthese last two weeks had the best western equipment but ultimately it was a small portion of what is yet to come. There are over 1000 troop carriers still to be thrown into the mix. We still haven't seen peak daily casualties imo.
