In the northeastern border area, the Russian army maintains a military presence in the border areas, conducts active sabotage activities to prevent the deployment of Ukrainian troops to threatened areas, and increases the density of minefields along the state border in the Belgorod region.

In the Lyman direction, Ukrainian forces repulsed 6 attacks near Makiivka, Luhansk region, and Hryhorivka, Vesele, Donetsk region.

In the Avdiivka direction, in the area of responsibility of the Tavria operational-strategic group, Ukrainian defenders keep holding back the Russian enemy, who keeps trying to encircle Avdiivka.

At the same time, the Ukrainian soldiers continue to inflict losses in manpower and equipment on the occupation forces, depleting the Russian enemy along the entire front line.

Russian troops continue to suffer significant losses in eastern Ukraine

According to the General Staff, only from January 6 to January 10 this year, hospitals and medical institutions of the Russian Defense Ministry received many personnel participating in the fighting in the temporarily occupied Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

Thus, over 300 invading Russian soldiers with severe injuries arrived in Chernyanka, Valuyki and Rovenki in Belgorod region from the temporarily occupied Luhansk, almost 250 Russian soldiers with extremely severe injuries arrived in Belgorod, and about 150 Russian servicemen were sent to Moscow and Kaliningrad, who cannot be helped in frontline hospitals due to the lack of qualified doctors.

The field hospitals of the Russian Defense Ministry are overcrowded and cannot cope with the number of injured soldiers who arrive in large numbers every day after the 'cannon fodder' assaults.
