The hilltop town has been the scene of ferocious fighting in recent weeks, with Russian forces managing to seize control of a district last week.
Havrylyuk didn’t name the district, but the Institute for the Study of War, a US think tank, said he was likely referring to the Kanal Microraion neighborhood.
Business Insider was unable to independently verify the casualty figures given by Havrylyuk, but other reports and statements by officials indicate that Russia is also suffering high casualties in its campaign in the Kharikiv region in northern Ukraine.
Russia is launching head-on “meat assault” attacks on Ukrainian positions using waves of troops with UK intelligence claiming that Russia’s casualties in May spiked to its highest point in the war, with its military losing around 1,200 men a day.
Havrylyuk said that people were seen as expendable by Putin in his mission to conquer Ukraine, but economic issues and problems supplying its troops with ammunition and equipment could soon blunt its campaign.
To the Putanas and Putinistas Russia. Today is a spam free day. Your perverse comments and manluvPutin are OK otherwise.

I follow this war closely. With the vast number of FPV drones flying from BOTH sides I would have expected to see these “meat assaults” should they exist. Guess what… there’s a distinctive LACK of such video documentation. So THEY DON’T EXIST. This is NOT WW1! Lot’s of people are being killed or maimed but it is mainly due to large bombs and artillery.
And, in case you’re ignorant of the facts, “UK Intelligence” is war propaganda central. Just sayin’.
