On Monday, the Ukrainian army announced the “first success” of its attack in the vicinity of the city of Bakhmut (east), which is witnessing the longest and fiercest battle within the framework of the Russian invasion.
The commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, Colonel-General Oleksandr Sersky, said on Monday that the defense of the city of Bakhmut continues, adding that recent days have shown Ukraine’s ability to advance and confront the Russian forces there.
“The advance of our forces along the Bakhmut direction represents the first successful offensive operation in the defense of the city,” the Ukrainian Military Information Center quoted Sersky as saying.
“The past few days have shown that we can advance and destroy the enemy even in such very difficult conditions. The defense of Bakhmut is continuing. All necessary decisions have been taken to defend the city,” he added in a message broadcast by the center on the Telegram messaging application.
