According to him, in the Tavria direction, the enemy suffered losses of 437 individuals and lost 60 military vehicles within a day. Among the occupant's losses were one tank, 11 ACVs, 10 artillery systems, 1 air defense vehicle, 27 UAVs, 9 cars, one unit of special equipment. One enemy warehouse with ammunition flew into the air.
According to Tarnavskyi, Ukrainian military forces also targeted the Tor air defense missile system, and the rare russian 2S34 Hosta self-propelled mortar system was hit.
As a reminder, in Ukraine’s Tavria operational zone, entire groups of russian occupiers surrendering have been recorded, with one of the reasons for their move being the inhumane treatment by the command. As of mid-December, the United States reported that in two months, russians lost around 13,000 soldiers near Avdiivka.
