MOSCOW, August 13. /TASS/. Russia’s Battlegroup East thwarted the Ukrainian army’s attempts to reinforce forward positions, rotate troops and deploy reserves in seven frontline areas, Spokesman for the Battlegroup East Alexander Gordeyev told TASS on Tuesday.

"Battlegroup East units continue accomplishing combat missions in the special military operation area. In their active operations, the Battlegroup’s units improved their forward edge positions and thwarted the enemy’s attempts to reinforce forward positions, rotate troops and move reserves to areas near Ugledar, Vodyanoye, Schevchenko, Storozhevoye, Makarovka, Charivnoye and Dorozhnyanka," the spokesman said.

Over the past 24 hours, Russia’s Battlegroup East destroyed roughly 100 Ukrainian troops, two Polish-made Krab self-propelled artillery systems, a British-made FH70 towed howitzer, a US-made AN/TPQ-50 counterbattery radar station, three motor vehicles, five aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles and two ammunition supply points, the spokesman specified.
