The defense forces advanced up to 1,700 meters in the Bakhmut direction. This was announced by the representative of the Eastern group of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Cherevaty.

He noted that this is happening despite the lack of advantages of the Ukrainian forces in personnel, equipment and ammunition. During the day in the Bakhmut direction, the invaders lost 130 fighters dead, 145 wounded, four were captured.
According to Serhiy Cherevaty, Bakhmut remains the epicenter of hostilities in eastern Ukraine.
The enemy is trying most of all to take this almost destroyed city. 487 times the enemy attacked our positions with rocket artillery, there were 25 clashes, six air raids, 130 invaders were destroyed, 145 were injured, four were captured. Also destroyed self-propelled guns “Msta”, UAV “Orlan-10” and eight combat depots with ammunition, – he said.
Despite the limited nature of Ukrainian counterattacks in the Bakhmut area, Russian troops are losing the initiative in this direction, according to a new report from the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The military of the 46th brigade, which is fighting in Bakhmut, said on their TG channel that “our activity on the flanks continues.” This is now the most promising direction with an eye on Klishchievka, Dubovo-Vasilovka, Kurdyumovka and along the Slavyansk-Bakhmut highway.
The enemy made Bakhmut the main direction – the defense forces were forced to retreat from the city to new lines of defense, destroying the invaders.
No one who was in the city has ever heard of any “shell hunger” for tanks and artillery from the “Wagners,” Ukrainian soldiers write.
