DONETSK, March 4. /TASS/. The Ukrainian armed forces have lost roughly 60 soldiers in their attempts to counterattack in the area of the settlement of Burlatskoye in southern Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) over three days, the commander of the 394th motorized infantry regiment of Russia's Battlegroup East told TASS.
"From the day that we liberated Burlatskoye, the enemy tried to counterattack, but we have already gained a foothold, and everything was in vain. On the first day, there were three motor vehicles, with 15 troops inside, and two or three vehicles came in the following days," the officer with the call sign Angel said.
On March 1, the Russian Defense Ministry reported the liberation of the settlement of Burlatskoye in southern DPR.
