1/ The Governor of Primorsky Krai, Oleg Kozhemyako, has published a video denying recent reports that the Russian 155th Marine Brigade suffered huge casualties (see letter below). Video and translation follows ⬇️

On his official Telegram channel, Kozhemyako says:

"We have contacted the commanders of our marines on the front line. These are guys who have been in combat since the beginning of the operation. We trust them.

3/ From them the information about the battles for Pavlivka is as follows:

"The offensive is tough, there are casualties, but far from it."

These are not the words of a staff officer, but of a combat commander.

4/ He emphasized that losses of the Primorye troops are considerably exaggerated!

For us any losses among our compatriots are a great loss and pain. We grieve for the dead. And we will help the families and the wounded.

5/ I also know at first hand that at Pavlivka, as during the whole special military operation, our fighters showed true heroism and unprecedented courage. We inflicted serious damage on the enemy.

6/ I should like to emphasise once again that we have sent materials to the military prosecutor's office regarding the events described in the report.

In conditions of information warfare, any publication on social networks requires verification.

7/ I am sure that in any case this situation will be investigated and the competent authorities will give their assessment." /end
