The situation on the Bakhmut front has been difficult for about a year, but stable. We have been on the initiative for several months now.
We managed to stop the enemy, stabilise the situation, move from defence and loss of positions to offensive actions.
Moscow's forces conducted nearly 30 attacks northwest and southwest of Bakhmut over the past two days, which is a notably higher number of attacks than the Ukrainian General Staff typically reports for the Bakhmut area.
