Answering questions about the situation directly near Bakhmut, in particular in the Klishchiivka area, Cherevaty noted that "to some extent, this is the epicenter."
"We don't want to reveal the details, but the initiative is being held by the Defense Forces of Ukraine. The enemy is suffering heavy losses. There is strong pressure on the enemy, but very well thought out, systematic, without frontal attacks that would lead to heavy losses of personnel," he emphasized.
In turn, in the Limano-Kupian direction, the enemy carried out 5 attacks per day and shelled Ukrainian positions 522 times. He also carried out 16 air raids.
"During the repulse of enemy attacks, 51 occupiers were destroyed, 117 were wounded. 2 T-80 tanks were destroyed. BMP, 2 mortars, an anti-tank gun "Rapir" and 2 unmanned complexes "Orlan" and 8 barrage ammunition were destroyed," Cherevaty said.
According to him, the increase in the number of enemy losses in the General Staff is due to the fact that the enemy is trying to be more active in some areas and is becoming more vulnerable to defeat by Ukrainian forces.
