The Russian invaders launched a "major offensive" in Donbas. Every day they lose 500 soldiers killed.
Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov stated this in an interview with La Repubblica, Censor.NET informs with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
"Actually, he is already on his way (offensive, - ed.). We call it a "creeping offensive" because they follow crazy tactics: they send waves of "Wagnerians" or former prisoners against us to win back a few meters of land. For example, in Bakhmut . Twenty of them attack our positions, and we kill them. After a while, twenty more come, and twenty more, in a continuous cycle. Our general on the eastern front said that in a day the Russians have 500 killed and 900 wounded," he said he.
At the same time, the minister emphasized that Bakhmut is a stronghold.
"Bakhmut is a stronghold, a point on the front line, which we are defending in order to reduce the enemy's ability to attack by destroying it," Reznikov said.
