Russian losses on the Tavriia front have increased significantly over the last day, but the occupiers continue their "meat grinder" assaults with high intensity.

Details: According to Shtupun, during the day of 17 September, the total losses of the Russians on the Tavriia front increased sharply and amounted to 313 people. Before that, the number was around 200 casualties for three days in a row.
On Sunday, the Russians also lost 1.5 times more equipment than usual – 31 pieces. Among them are four artillery guns, an anti-aircraft defence device and three pieces of special equipment.
Regarding the situation near Marinka, according to Shtupun, the Russians have a numerical advantage in manpower and continue on with their tactic of "meat grinder" assaults.
Quote: "Unfortunately, the enemy has a quantitatively greater human potential; the occupiers are constantly increasing their reserves. But someday, they will run out.
They are already poorly motivated, but they continue to drive the infantry to storm Marinka. Every day we record about 10 attempts. And today, 10 attempts have been recorded during just the daylight hours.
Russian propaganda needs some nourishment, and they will try to take Marinka under control in order to show at least something to their electorate. But at the moment, the propagandists cannot boast of anything except their losses."
