Commander of Ukrainian Ground Forces on the escalation near Bakhmut: Russians became more active, but the Defense Forces respond professionally

Russian occupation troops have once again intensified their activities near Bakhmut in the Donetsk region. At the same time, the Defense Forces are acting professionally and are giving a powerful response to the enemy.

Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, announced this in Telegram. He noted that the Russians are trying to regain previously lost positions, but all attacks are being repelled.

It should be noted that Volodymyr Fitio, head of the public relations service of the Ground Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, also said that the enemy had launched attacks with renewed vigor. According to him, the situation began to escalate last week. "The occupants are trying to 'test' the defense of our heroes, looking for weaknesses and conducting active artillery work on Ukrainian positions.

At the same time, 140 Russians and more than 28 pieces of equipment were eliminated in the Bakhmut direction over the last day, including more than 10 artillery systems of various types.

At the beginning of the month, the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that due to setbacks on the battlefield, the invaders changed their tactics near Bakhmut. The fighting there continues 24 hours a day and the guns do not stop firing either at night or during the day.

The occupiers are "shuffling" the personnel involved in the assaults. In some areas, they let in mobilized soldiers or invaders from the Storm Z unit. In others, they let in professionally trained contractors.
