Ukrainska Pravda → Source tone: certain

(On the Bakhmut front - ed.) we conduct a very measured and progressive offensive, taking into account the fact that we do not have an advantage in forces and means over the enemy. Therefore, we make maximum use of manoeuvre, coverage, and various tactical innovations in order to advance evenly and confidently, but with minimal losses to our personnel.
