Ukraine\u2019s General Staff responded to a report by its Russian counterparts on the \u201cresults of the 2025 spring-summer campaign,\u201d calling it a lie and noting that Russia\u2019s offensives ended \u201cpractically in nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt its core, the report is an attempt to present wishful thinking as reality and outright lies. After three and a half years of the Kremlin\u2019s full-scale aggression, its latest \u2018seasonal\u2019 offensive campaign ended practically in nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite Gerasimov\u2019s statements, Russian forces did not achieve full control over any major city. Instead, since the beginning of the year, in senseless battles in Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk regions, the Russians have lost nearly 210,000 soldiers killed and wounded, 2,174 armored fighting vehicles destroyed or damaged, 1,201 tanks, 7,303 artillery systems, and 157 multiple launch rocket systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The enemy\u2019s fake reports about so-called \u2018security zones\u2019 in Sumy and Kharkiv regions are nothing more than an attempt to cover up failed operations that turned into a dead end and cost them tens of thousands of casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year alone, in the operational zone of the \u2018Kursk\u2019 group, our troops eliminated 19,080 enemy soldiers, with over 25,000 more wounded,\u201d the General Staff wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ukrainian forces emphasize that the occupiers\u2019 figures on seized territories are \u201csignificantly exaggerated,\u201d but add that Russia\u2019s losses \u2014 more than 291,000 soldiers killed and wounded \u2014 are \u201c100% confirmed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The General Staff also dismissed the enemy\u2019s claims about \u201cprecision weapons\u201d and the \u201cdestruction of Ukraine\u2019s missile industry,\u201d calling them fairy tales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
