Russia has lost over 50,000 troops in a futile effort to capture Toretsk, a near-ruined city in Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast. As of August 2, Ukrainian forces from the 100th Mechanized Brigade still hold key positions despite Russia’s claimed victory in February and its ongoing campaign since June 18, 2024.
Despite entering the city in August 2024 and briefly surrounding northern sections, Russia’s efforts have been met with unrelenting resistance. Ukraine’s defenders, aided by advanced drone tactics and high ground fortifications, have inflicted staggering losses. With only 48 civilians left and the coal mines dormant, Putin’s obsession continues—not for the city, but for what lies beneath.
