He said this on the Espreso TV channel.
"In Avdiivka, two Russian brigades were brought to a state of non-combat readiness. About 1,500 Russian invaders were klled and 3,500 wounded. At that time, Russian forces concentrated a large number of reserves in Avdiivka. The battalions came in one by one, there was a so-called queue of battalions.

We hope that the losses will make it possible to reduce their offensive potential," Borodin said.
Even such losses did not change Russia's offensive. But in general, in this area, it allowed the Ukrainian military to make such an impact that Russian forces had to regroup, he added.
