Syrsky announced successes in the Bakhmut direction, the Defense Forces are advancing

The Ukrainian defense forces continue to advance in the Bakhmut direction, the enemy is trapped in places. In particular, snipers are working effectively in this section of the front.

Commander of the Army of the AFU, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrsky reported on the success of the defenders of Ukraine near Bakhmut. He noted the excellent work of the "Ghost" group of the Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky Independent Presidential Brigade (to see the video, scroll to the end of the news).

"A sniper with the call sign 'Alpha' is working. From 1,200 meters he destroyed the enemy with one shot," the commander noted.

He added that while the sniper was working, the group was being hunted by an enemy UAV, which the fighters also managed to shoot down.

We remind that the day before, British intelligence reported that after a month of relative calm, Bakhmut had once again turned into one of the places where the fiercest fighting is taking place. To the north and south of the city, Ukrainian soldiers have achieved "stable successes," while Russian forces in the Bakhmut direction have significant problems.

The British Defense Ministry predicted that the Russian command would make every effort to hold Bakhmut, but expressed doubt that these efforts would be effective.

As OBOZREVATEL reported:

- The Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported that in Bakhmut itself the Russian occupation troops are practically trapped. At the same time, the Defense Forces are advancing on the southern flank;

- Russian war criminals in the Donetsk direction once again resorted to the use of chemical munitions against Ukrainian defenders. For example, near Bakhmut, the occupiers dropped shells with a suffocating chemical poison on Ukrainian positions.
