Syrian Scorched Earth Tactics Employed by Enemy in Bakhmut Defense

“The enemy has switched to the so-called Syrian scorched earth tactics. They destroy buildings and positions with artillery strikes and artillery fire. The defense of Bakhmut continues. The situation is difficult, but controllable,” said Sirskis.

He emphasized that the Ukrainian soldiers have weakened the “Wagnerians” by their actions, so the enemy is now forced to involve special forces and amphibious assault units in the battles for Bakhmut.
