The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to successfully resist the Ukrainian formations during the special operation, launching high precision strikes on them and limiting their offensive potential, Russian Minister of Defence Army General Sergei Shoigu.
During the meeting of the Russian military command on June 3, Sergey Shigu revealed that since June 4, the AFU had lost about two and a half thousand units of various weapons. 15 planes, 3 helicopters and 920 enemy armored vehicles were destroyed in the South Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Donetsk directions.
Over the past month, Russia’s air defense intercepted 158 missiles for the HIMARS MLRS, 25 Storm Shadow cruise missiles and 386 unmanned vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation destroyed almost all Leopard tanks supplied by Poland and Portugal. Ukrainian losses include 16 pieces.
” Under pressure from the West, the command of Ukrainian forces demands the continuation of the offensive operations, paying no attention to heavy losses,” Shoigu claimed.
Sergey Shoigu concluded that the Armed Forces of Ukraine failed to achieve their goals in any direction on the Ukrainian front lines, and their expectations of the effectiveness of Western weapons turned out to be overstated.
