The enemy may occupy some house, but after our heavy blow against them, the occupiers may retreat, and our servicemen may take up these positions. Sometimes the enemy takes some action. Fighting in urban areas is one of the most difficult types of combat, Cherevaty said.
He added that 19 clashes took place in the city during the day. The Armed Forces of Ukraine liquidated 71 occupiers, 88 more were injured.
Russia’s progress in Bakhmut is “very slow” and “can be measured in meters” over the past few weeks. CNN writes about it.
Journalists, citing Western officials, write that in this area Russia attracted a large number of manpower and suffered significant losses. And Prigozhin’s statement about the alleged capture of Bakhmut in the West was called “a rather desperate attempt.”
In general, it was more for domestic Russian consumption. We now believe that they still do not fully control Bakhmut, so the Ukrainians can still resist the Russian troops, according to the material of this broadcaster.
Meanwhile, the leader of the “Wagnerites” began to complain that “the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not leaving Bakhmut.” Prigozhin recorded a video and acknowledged the powerful defense of the Ukrainian defenders in the fortress city, and again complained about the Russian command.
I haven’t seen Surovikin for a long time, I don’t know what he’s doing,” says Prigogine in a video released on April 6.
In addition, he once again stated that the invaders have problems with protecting the flanks and with ammunition.
The command is in full control of the situation in Bakhmut, said Andriy Yermak, head of the presidential office.
Also, the speaker of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine told the details of the shooting down of the Ka-52 helicopter, which was reported yesterday by the General Staff.
Ka-52 was shot down by anti-aircraft gunners of the 10th brigade. What is symbolic is that just during the visit of the President of Ukraine to Poland, they shot down a helicopter with a Polish-made Perun portable anti-aircraft missile system, he said.
Earlier, the American Institute for the Study of War reported that the enemy was moving from the Bakhmut region towards Liman and Seversk.
