Russian troops are trying to break through and achieve local victory, and also dream of “surrounding” the Ukrainian Defense Forces and moving in the direction of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.
In the Bakhmut sector of the front, there were 249 attacks and 32 skirmishes per day. The enemy killed 131 attackers and over 150 were wounded. Serhiy Cherevaty, spokesman of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, spoke about this on Friday, December 30, on the air of the Espreso TV channel.
He noted that the dynamics of losses makes the Russians constantly increase their forces – with prisoners recruited from the ranks of the PMCs, mobilized, and so on. According to Cherevaty, even those from the Russian colonies no longer wanted to go to the front, because rumors began to reach them that it was a “one-way ticket.”
The spokesman of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that in the directions of Bakhmut, Liman and Avdiivka, the invaders are trying to find a weak spot in the defense of the defenders of Ukraine, break and achieve local victory , and also dream to “surround” the Defense Forces of Ukraine and move in the direction of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.
“All these actions are read by our command and, as a rule, are organized in advance by counter-operations … All areas of the land where they normally carry out their offensive operations were shot. And our soldiers, with their coordination, training, courage, reject them every day,” stressed Cherevaty.
He added that the mass attacks of the Russians, depletion of personnel, poor visibility and the fact that the enemy operates in small groups, so the fighters must be more concentrated, are adding to the difficulties for the defenders of Ukraine.
Earlier, the General Staff reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine defeated Bakhmut up to 20 attacks a day.
