As a result of the conflict in the occupied territories, the Kadyrovtsy and Dagestanis outnumbered each other

This was reported by Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Anna Malyar.

The servicemen of the Russian occupation troops in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine have the same flourishing inter-ethnic and inter-ethnic contradictions as in the territory of the Russian Federation," the statement said.

Malyar said that in the village of Mikhailovka, in the occupied part of Zaporizhzhya region, during the filming of a Russian propaganda story about a high-ranking official from among the "Kadyrovites", Dagestani servicemen expressed their discontent, which turned into a clash:

The use of firearms by the clashing soldiers resulted in more than 20 irrecoverable casualties on both sides, while sanitary casualties totalled about 40 servicemen.

Meanwhile, the AFU General Staff announced the enemy's combat losses from 24.02.22 to 21.08.23.

They amounted to about 257,930 personnel of the Russian army.
