The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine continues to assert that the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "hold" the southwestern outskirts of Bakhmut
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine continues to assert that units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are still in Bakhmut and hold the outskirts in the south-west of the city. This was stated by Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar.
Deputy Reznikova spoke about the situation on the line of contact, saying that Russian troops are making attempts to advance in the Avdeevsky, Maryinsky, Limansky and Bakhmut directions, but the "valiant" Ukrainian troops are "strongly resisting." Speaking about the Bakhmut direction, Malyar said that the situation in the city is stable, the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly continue to hold the southwestern outskirts, and the Wagner PMC remains in Bakhmut, but for some reason Ukrainian troops do not attack. According to her, the "Orchestra" stormtroopers are "instructing" units of the Ministry of Defense.
Maller said.
The speaker of the Vostok group of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Cherevaty echoes her. Speaking on television, the colonel said that the units of the Russian army did not succeed in completely capturing Bakhmut. According to him, the replacement of Wagner PMC detachments with landing units is carried out on the eve of the “lightning attack” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the command of the Russian Armed Forces fears that the Ukrainian troops will take Bakhmut.
Cherevaty said.
Here is such a parallel reality where the loss of the city is not recognized, although they talk about it even in the West. The loss of control over Soledar was recognized in Kyiv 10 days later, after the release of Bakhmut, more than two weeks have already passed.
