The fighting at Rabotino in Zaporozhye was grueling and slow – the Ukrainian army suffered huge losses, and only the name of the village remained. The New York Times writes about this.
According to media reports, journalists studied satellite images from the battlefield. It is impossible to find out the number of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers who died near Rabotino, however, correspondents came to the conclusion that the price for the advance of Ukrainian troops in this area is “disproportionate to the area of the reclaimed lands.”
At the same time, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces advance, they will once again encounter mines, trenches and fresh Russian forces, as well as additional difficulties in the form of the approaching cold snap and autumn rains, the newspaper writes. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will again pay in “ammunition, vehicles and human lives. “This is what we can say for sure: more people will die, more buildings will burn,” the material noted.
It was also emphasized that “without decisive successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Western support may weaken, and pressure will begin to be put on Kyiv to begin negotiations on a ceasefire.”
Earlier, Rossiyskaya Gazeta wrote that the Russian military defeated the elite 82nd separate air assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Rabotino. According to him, the Ukrainian army suffered heavy losses in the Rabotino-Verbovoe-Novoprokopyevka section, including due to problems with the rotation and supply of ammunition, as well as in minefields.
