Substantial Losses in Ukrainian Conflict: MRAP Armored Vehicles and More

One US official described the damage as substantial. The US-supplied MRAP armored vehicles are also among the losses.

Ukrainian soldiers managed to defeat some units of Russian troops in Bakhmut district. However, Russian soldiers armed with anti-tank missiles, grenade launchers and mortars put up fierce resistance.

The Russians have fortified their defense lines, but minefields have been placed around them, which have caused heavy losses to Ukrainian armored vehicles.

Both US officials expressed confidence that these losses will not affect the planned large-scale Ukrainian counteroffensive.
