The Russians, with the support of aviation, are trying to dislodge our troops from their positions in the Liman direction, but without success, according to the morning summary of the General Staff.
According to Andriy Kovalyov, the speaker of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to the north and south of the city of Bakhmut, Ukrainian troops continue to put pressure on the enemy, knocking them out of the previously captured lines.
In the Kleshcheevka area, they have a partial success, they are gaining a foothold on the achieved milestones, the speaker said.
The enemy puts up powerful resistance, uses reserves, and suffers heavy losses. There are heavy battles.
The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold back the advance of Russian troops in the Limansky, Avdeevsky and Mariinsky directions. Everything is developing according to plans, as the commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky assessed the counteroffensive. He expressed confidence that the Defense Forces would return Bakhmut.
According to Syrsky in an interview for the American television channel ABC News, “so far everything is developing according to the plans that have been developed and approved.”
Speaking of losses, Syrsky remarked:
The enemy suffers eight or even ten times more losses, especially in terms of the number of dead military personnel.
An American journalist asked the commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine when the war unleashed by Russia in Ukraine will end. He replied, “I don’t know.”
We understand that today we want, for example, to reach some line, but that’s why I constantly visit my troops on the front line. Since it’s one thing to work out some kind of plan in the rear, it’s another thing to see how to succeed on the ground while the enemy is persistently resisting,” Syrsky said.
