In the Bakhmut direction, the enemy went on the defensive. Colonel Mykola Urshalovich, Deputy Director of the Planning Department for the Application of the Main Directorate of the National Guard of Ukraine, announced this at a briefing at the Military Media Center.
According to him, in this direction, “the enemy almost completely lost the initiative and went on the defensive on the ruins of settlements destroyed with his own hands.”
At the same time, the enemy has significantly increased the number of artillery shelling,” Urshalovich noted.
Commander of the Ground Forces Alexander Syrsky said that the format of the operation in the Bakhmut direction has been changed, so there is a temporary lull.
At the same time, the enemy increased shelling from heavy weapons, mainly at artillery and mortars, Syrsky said in a commentary to the UP.
The enemy did not refuse to continue offensive operations in this direction. Wagner units are simply displayed in them, which replace the army and airborne units.
Regarding the flanks, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine used to advance, there is also a stop, because “other important tasks were being carried out.”
