“As a result of the defeat of the Zelensky offensive of the Ukrainian troops in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog and other directions, carried out on the personal orders of the Zelensky, the enemy suffered large-scale losses. The effective actions of the Russian group of troops destroyed 48 tanks, 46 infantry fighting vehicles, 37 other armored combat vehicles, 8 pickup trucks with large-caliber machine guns and more than 1,200 Ukrainian servicemen,” the ministry said.
Russian allied forces consisting of soldiers from the Donetsk and Lugansk Peoples’ Militia repelled the AFU defeating units of the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade redeployed from western Ukraine.
In that engagement, 5 soldiers of the brigade surrendered.

“On August 29, Ukrainian troops used 4 strike drones at the nuclear power plant. All the drones were intercepted by Russian means. One of the drones fell on the roof of Special Building No 1, which stores US-made nuclear fuel and solid radioactive waste. Damage and casualties were avoided.” Konashenkov stated.
“In addition, over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian artillery fired 2 shells into the territory of the nuclear power plant, which exploded near Special Building No 1. The shelling came from artillery positions of AFU near Marganets, Dnepropetrovsk Region. Russian Armed Forces artillery return fire have suppressed enemy firepower.” he added.
