As you know, the Russian regular army and the Kremlin’s private military companies have been actively storming Bakhmut and the settlements on the outskirts of it since July last year.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has repeatedly stated that Bakhmut is the epicenter of hostilities. The Ukrainian Defense Forces have been only defending for a long time, but recently they have begun offensive operations. The Ukrainian military is already attacking on the flanks from time to time. In recent days, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have fired almost 20 square meters. km in the suburbs.
At the same time, the enemy advances somewhat in Bakhmut itself, completely destroying the city with artillery. In addition, the enemy is pulling up units of professional paratroopers.
Recall that the commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky said that now the “Wagnerites” feel in Bakhmut like a rat in a mousetrap, because the defense forces from the north and south continue offensive operations and win victories.
