According to him, the Russians are trying to squeeze the Armed Forces out of positions not by quality, but by quantity.
Lieutenant, company commander of the “Freedom” battalion of the National Guard of Ukraine Yevhen Oropai noted that recently the main enemy attacks in the Bakhmut region have been taking place at night.
On the air of the “Espresso” TV channel, he said that the Russians are trying to squeeze the ZSU out of positions not by quality, but by quantity.
“The enemy is trying to advance precisely at night so that our copters cannot notice them. The enemy is much more numerous than our servicemen. The Russians are massively trying to squeeze us out of positions not by quality, but by quantity,” Oropai explained.
According to the military, by the new year, the Russian occupiers had a certain shortage of ammunition. Currently, the shelling has intensified and assault attempts are taking place 5-6 times a day.
“By January 1, the enemy used less artillery shells, a lot of his anti-tank missiles were burned in warehouses. Now they have started firing en masse again, sending their infantry to our positions 5-6 times a day. They are simply being sent to certain death,” the commander concluded. . the mouth
Bakhmut direction: the latest news
Analysts believe that the occupying forces are far from the operational environment of Bakhmut. Given the fact that the interventionists have recently been moving several hundred meters a day, it is extremely unlikely that the enemy will succeed in cutting off these logistical routes of the Armed Forces. Defenders of Ukraine also discovered footage of the field near Bakhmut. The ground is littered with corpses of Russian soldiers.
The officer of the first separate brigade named after Ivan Bohuna of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Taras Berezovets, said that the critical point of the struggle for the Bakhmut fortress has not yet been passed. In his opinion, the peak of confrontation should take place in January 2023.
