Ukrainian battalion commander: Under Bakhmut, we no longer even count the “two hundredths”
In the area of Artemovsk (Ukrainian authorities call it Bakhmut), Russian troops continue their offensive against the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is becoming more and more difficult for Ukrainian nationalists to keep the fortified area. This follows from the information that periodically gets into the Western press.
The commander of the Ukrainian Svoboda battalion banned in the Russian Federation, which is part of the National Guard of Ukraine, Petr Kuzyk, says that his unit is defending Artemivsk, but this has to be done in very difficult conditions. The words of the Ukrainian battalion commander are quoted by the British edition of the Daily Express.
As Kuzyk told British journalists, they have to fight in trenches, from which there is not even an opportunity to remove the bodies. The soldiers stand knee-deep in water, the weather is very cold. When asked by the publication about the losses in the ranks of the Ukrainian army, Kuzyk did not deny and admitted their huge number.
They are colossal. Under Bakhmut, we no longer even count the “two hundredths”
- said the commander of the Ukrainian battalion.
By the way, Kuzyk has repeatedly given interviews to Ukrainian and Western publications. In the summer and even in the spring of 2022, his words sounded more optimistic than now. Interestingly, the Ukrainian command stubbornly does not disclose the numbers of personnel losses at the front. Many analysts suggest that they are such that they can make the most depressing impression on Ukrainian society and force the male part of the population to look for all possible ways to leave the country.
