Russian troops are advancing along almost the entire eastern front, fierce fighting in the areas of Kremennaya, Torsky, Belogorovka, and Disputed, but the epicenter of the attack is Bakhmut.
The commander of the Ground Forces, Alexander Syrsky, declares that the enemy is suffering losses, therefore he is forced to retreat. In some areas, Ukrainian units have partial success.
The enemy is trying to completely cordon off Bakhmut, the press service of the Ground Forces quotes the general. – In fact, along the entire eastern front line, the enemy is carrying out offensive operations, trying to break through the defenses of our troops.
The enemy is trying to break through the defenses of Bakhmut in several directions. Fights are going on in the north, east and south of the city, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are rebuffing the enemy.
Unfortunately, we also have losses, but much less than our defenders inflict on the enemy. In some areas, our units have partial success, summed up Syrsky.
Today, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov said that Bakhmut is a key point for Ukraine.
If the situation changes, the decision will be taken by the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander. The phrase “keep Bakhmut” has a purely military meaning. We had a Stavka meeting. Once again it was confirmed by Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny, and General Syrsky, and all those present that Bakhmut is a very important, key point for us.
We understand that this annoys someone, someone thinks that we should give in. But this is our land, and we have no right not to defend it.
If any decisions are made by our military, they will be discussed at Headquarters, then we will take certain actions,” Danilov said.
