Yuri Podolyaka's Front Report Oct 17th, 2022

#YURI Russian troops allowed the Ukrainians to collect the bodies of the dead in the north part of the Kherson oblast, after two days of their unsuccessful attacks. The number of KIA and WIA is estimated in about 250 men, some 25 tanks and around 50 of the lighter armored vehicles. According to Ukrainian sources, the units supposed to attack today declined to do so, seeing the utter defeat of the previous waves.

Prisoner exchange “110 for 110” took place between the sides of the conflict. The Russians returned 108 female POWs to the Ukrainians, and 2 more refused to return, and preferred to stay in Russia. In exchange, Russian civil sailors and some 30 servicemen of the Russian army, LPR and DPR militias returned home.
