The invaders adjust their tactics, trying to pressure Bakhmut from several sides.
The Russian invaders changed their tactics on the Bakhmut direction. Now they are trying to take Bakhmut, which has been heroically defended by Ukrainian soldiers in a semi-circle for several months.
As Yaroslav Lysenko, a fighter of the “Freedom” battalion, told Apostrophe TV, the Russians understood that “putting 500 chmobikes near Bakhmut every day and not getting anything is simply absurd.”
“Even Prigozhin already admits that the city has become a fortress, which is problematic and expensive to take. They are running out of resources, apparently the flow of professional thugs for “Wagner” has begun to run out, so the orcs are adjusting their tactics, trying to pressure Bakhmut from the south and north “, explained the soldier.
He emphasized that there is no sense in such maneuvers of the enemy. However, Shoigu and Prigozhin must be shown at least some result. Lysenko noted that they have not been thinking about Bakhmut for a long time, but mentally divide the territory “after Putin”.
According to the fighter, every more or less influential player in the Russian Federation has his own personal army, which needs to be armed and supplied.
“And here the problem of scarcity and lack of shells comes to the fore. This is where the “legs” grow in the reports that Shoigu and Gerasimov, in order to drown Prigozhin, are simply saving shells for the “Wagner” so that the thugs of the “cook” will be even faster exhaled and finally sat down in a puddle,” Lysenko summarized.
The situation in the Bakhmut direction
As reported in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian occupiers are concentrating their main efforts on attempts to completely seize Donetsk region within its administrative border. In particular, the Russians are conducting offensive actions in the Bakhmut and Lyman directions.
Military observer and former spokesman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladyslav Seleznyov said that the situation remains difficult in the Soledar, Bakhmut, and Avdiivka regions of the Donetsk region. The Russian occupying forces are constantly attracting new resources to push Ukrainian defenses.
In addition, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, emphasized that the daily failure of the enemy in the Bakhmut direction and in general in the Donbas is a significant weakening of Russia. He praised the fighters who are heroically holding the defense and resisting enemy attacks in the Bakhmut direction.
