Syrsky on situation in Bakhmut: Russians switched to "Syrian" scorched earth tactics, defense of city continues
The commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky visited the hottest areas of the front in the Bakhmut direction.
This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to the Military Media Center.
The commander listened to the commanders of military units and groups regarding the progress of the defense and problematic issues that require immediate resolution. Made operational decisions and set tasks on the spot.
Sirskyi also met with the personnel of the Ground Forces, Airborne Assault Forces, and Territorial Defense brigades, which today are heroically resisting the enemy's offensive in the Bakhmut direction, and honored the best fighters with awards, valuable gifts, and cash prizes.
"Our courageous soldiers exhausted the Wagnerites by their actions, so the enemy is now forced to involve special forces and airborne assault units in the battles for Bakhmut. The battles are fierce on both sides. The enemy switched to the so-called "Syrian" scorched earth tactics. Destroys buildings and positions with air strikes and artillery fire. Bakhmut's defense continues. The situation is difficult, but under control," Sirsky emphasized.
