In US terms, 2 battalions would be around 1,000-2,000 soldiers. IDK if the Ukrainian terminology is the same.

They said they took out 2 Russian battalions, which would mean that if every place they were outnumbered 10-to-1 it would be maybe 2,000 Russians and 200 Ukrainians in the battle. Something like that. But they only said they were outnumbered like that in some areas, not the whole region.
