Markus shared the information in a video message. 

"Yesterday alone, they brought over a hundred of their dead to Tokmak from this direction (Zaporizhzhia direction - ed.). Over the last few days we have destroyed a dozen tanks, two Sontsepeks (Russian TOS-1A Sontsepek - ed.)," said the chief sergeant of the 47th Brigade.

The military further reported that the Magura destroyed a significant number of Russian infantry fighting vehicles, wheeled vehicles, and armored vehicles to the extent that it is impossible to determine the exact count.

"We are on the offensive, they are on the defense, and they are suffering losses many times greater than ours. No one is cowardly, the men of the 47th Magura Brigade are fighting like lions. I have never seen such courageous and decent people in my life. It's hard for people, but they are gnawing away meter by meter," Markus summarized.

The brigade's chief sergeant called for words of support for the military, as warm words from Ukrainians are the most important thing to keep their morale up.

At the same time, Marcus emphasized that he is participating in the fighting alongside the soldiers.

"As a representative of the brigade command, I go on assaults with the men every day, not in command vehicles, but directly in vehicles with infantry and assault with them, I am on foot next to them. The command of the 47th Brigade is next to its men," emphasized the 47th Brigade's chief sergeant.

  • On Monday, June 12, the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter, also known as an Alligator, making it the 300th helicopter lost by Russia in Ukraine.

  • In addition,the Russian army lost almost 4 companies of soldiers killed and wounded in the Tavria direction over the past day.

  • Russian Chief of Staff of the 35th Combined Arms Army, Major General Sergei Goryachev, was killed in the Zaporizhzhia direction.

  • Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has lost 216,650 soldiers, 3,935 tanks and 300 helicopters in Ukrainian.
