COMBAT BRIEFING NUMBER 868

The briefing by Colonel AC. Oguntoye on July 10, 2024, provides a detailed account of the Russian military operations and their outcomes:

1. **Extensive Engagements Across Regions**: The Russian forces have conducted operations in multiple strategic regions including the Kharkov, Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kherson regions. Each group of forces—North, West, South, Center, Vostok, and Dnepr—has reported significant engagements with various brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

2. **Tactical Advances and Area Control**: The Russian military units have successfully captured more advantageous positions and repelled numerous Ukrainian counter-attacks across these regions. This indicates a strong offensive as well as defensive capability, maintaining pressure on Ukrainian forces.

3. **Substantial Ukrainian Losses**: Across the different fronts, the Ukrainian forces have suffered significant losses:
- **Personnel**: Thousands of troops across various brigades.
- **Equipment**: Includes tanks, motor vehicles, advanced artillery systems like the M777 and D-30 howitzers, electronic warfare stations, and other key military hardware.
- **Artillery and Ammunition**: Multiple artillery systems have been destroyed along with the elimination of field ammunition depots.

4. **Strategic Strikes and Countermeasures**: Russian operational-tactical aviation, missile troops, and artillery have actively targeted and destroyed key Ukrainian assets, including radar stations, surface-to-air missile system launchers, and clusters of military hardware. The effectiveness of Russian air defense is also highlighted by the shooting down of aircraft, UAVs, missiles, and guided aerial bombs.

5. **Cumulative Destruction of Military Assets**: Since the beginning of the operation, the Russian forces have destroyed a significant number of Ukrainian military assets, including hundreds of aircraft, helicopters, drones, tanks, artillery guns, and other pieces of military equipment. This cumulative toll underscores the sustained intensity of the Russian military campaign.

6. **Operational Impact**: The ongoing operations have likely led to a considerable depletion of Ukrainian military resources, impacting their operational capabilities and strategic options.

This briefing underscores the continuing heavy engagements and the substantial impact of Russian military operations on the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The strategic implications of these continued losses and territorial gains are profound, affecting not only the immediate tactical situations but potentially altering the longer-term balance of power in the region.
