Direct speech: “Bakhmut. Today there is something to thank for our fighters who are fighting in the Bakhmut direction. They are fighting steadfastly, effectively.
I thank each and every one who does everything so that the losses of the enemy grow there! And special thanks to the soldiers of our 57th separate motorized infantry brigade named after Kostya Gordienko, the 77th separate airmobile brigade and the glorious 93rd separate mechanized brigade “Cold Yar”. Well done boys!”.
Recall: Bakhmut and Avdiivka are experiencing the most intense fighting right now. Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov explained that the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold Bakhmut despite the losses, because because of this, the Russians quickly exhaust their offensive capabilities, and if they retreat from the city, the conditions for the defense of the Ukrainian fighters will be worse.
