********MAJOR LOSSES OF UKRAINIAN MILITARY**

**The AFU lost about 400 elite fighters while attempting to cross the Zherebets River and advance deeper into Lugansk region **— the offensive was thwarted due to disagreements between Drapaty and Biletsky.

According to Russian military, **the main losses fell on the 8th Special Operations Forces Regiment.**

Clashes occurred north of Krasny Liman. **AFU commander Mykhail Drapaty and Andrey Biletsky, who heads the "Center" troop grouping, were unable to agree on the rotation** of special forces for reinforcement. As a result, **about 400 Ukrainian military personnel were eliminated.**

Despite claims of success, **forced evacuation and mining of the approaches to the city have begun in Kramatorsk**, and public transport has been halted in Slavyansk.

Since September, 12,000 **Ukrainian military personnel are still trying to retake Krasny Liman** as part of Operation "Vivaldi." 

**The Russian Armed Forces are holding back the offensive of four brigades**, "Azov", the SOF and the "Artan" GUR unit along a section of 30± kilometers.
