A crack Russian unit of fighters was almost totally destroyed during intense fighting near Kharkiv, rendering it inoperable, according to reports from the frontline.
The devastating massacre took place last weekend during fighting for Vovchansk, a city located 73 km (45 miles) northeast of Kharkiv.
The city has become the focus of heavy fighting after Russian troops launched a surprise attack in the Kharkiv region in early May.
As of last week, the Russians claimed to control around and half of the city - but the situation on the ground remains very fluid.
After making initial gains, the Russians have increasingly become bogged down amid fierce resistance from Ukrainian troops, who are starting to receive fresh supplies of critical weapons from the US.
A pro-Russian military blogger claimed on his Telegram channel that the 1009th regiment had been wiped out during fierce battles in Vovchansk.
The unit consisted almost entirely of mobilised soldiers from the Pskov region in northwest Russia.
The blogger wrote on his "Northern Channel": "1009th Regiment, 25th Brigade, 6th Army. Mostly mobilised from the Pskov region.
"They stood until the last... Dark days for our guys and their relatives in the Kharkiv direction."
The blogger blamed commanders for the losses, saying they failed to take into account the "changing realities" of the battlefield.

Should have stuck with Vodka instead of Crack.
Bad for that unit, but it is roughly the size of a U.S. Army sized company.
It is our favorite propagandist flogging for his globalist communist masters. Did you take up Speedy’s burden for the daily dose of propaganda?
Your sure do love the MI6 British propaganda rags.
Rare video of what happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUHk2RSMCS8
Putting the MI6 propaganda into perspective, losing 88 men in a day would be a very successful day for Ukraine which, on average loses 1,000 men a day across the line of contact
To believe the MSM or not to believe them...that is the question. I pick “not”.
LOL!
He is just a “reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeling” lol
Express UK must be very close to him.
LOL! One of my favorite X-File episodes!
Well, go on You Tube and the Russian debacle is widely reported.
“...according to reports from the frontline.”
You’ve been auditioning for a job in the MSM for 2+ years now by using their methods. Keep that resume up to date!

Best to trust Russian news sources; they are impeccably accurate and never lie.
Putin’s two week invasion has turned into 28 months of bloody hell for Russian troops. Was it worth it Vlad?
That will hopefully be the question going through Putin’s brain when they eventually put a bullet through it, and finally put an end to this madness and needless deaths.
Putin’s Afrika Korps was wiped out in the very first week of the offensive. What was he thinking?
Ukraine proxy slave state stronk as bull!
Ukraines entire government is funded by the U.S. Does The U.S. help the little Ukraine citizens? Nope, the U.S. bought the government and now owns the slaves.
40% of the population of the Ukraine voted with their feet and left the slave plantation of crime and villainy.
Little Z-man outlawed all opposition political parties and now reigns in the slave state without an election.
The Ukraine, in an act of desperation, is now using press gangs to round up America s with dual nationality with the Ukraine to die on the front lines.
Early all of the Ukraine faces daily blackouts and the cities along the front sit in the dark 24x7.
