Occupants stopped their offensive in Bakhmut and regroup, - Malyar
Russian invaders stopped offensive in Bakhmut to regroup and replace Wagnerites with regular troops, but they also significantly increased number of artillery attacks on city.
As informs Censor.NЕТ, this was stated by Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar in Telegram.
Malyar noted: "In fact, the enemy's offensive activity in the Bakhmut sector has been stopped. It seems so on the news that there is a lull there. But it cannot be called a lull. The enemy has increased the number of artillery attacks, which means they are changing their tools. The number of attacks today is commensurate with the heaviest battles for Bakhmut.
The Russians are now regrouping and replacing the Wagnerites with regular troops, but the Ukrainian military is preventing them from doing so in every way possible."
According to Malyar, the outskirts of Bakhmut in the southwestern part of the city remain under the control of Ukrainian defense forces, and the defenders control the entrance to the city itself.
The deputy defense minister also said that the advance of Ukrainian troops on the flanks was suspended a few days ago, but the troops are not standing still, but are performing other military tasks aimed at increasing combat capability.
"Both sides are preparing and strengthening for further actions. The struggle for this area continues," summarized Malyar.
