Time.news-A Bakhmut “heavy short-range fighting continues in the western quarters of the disputed city”: this was certified this morning by the analysis that British defense intelligence dedicates to the situation every day Ukraine. “One of the major developments over the past week has been the fighting on the outskirts of the city, particularly near the village of Khromove, as Ukraine tries to maintain control of the 0506 supply route.”
The other roads are not paved and are therefore made inaccessible by mud, London analysts explain. “The city having been under attack for over 11 months, Bakhmut’s Ukrainian defenses have been integrated as one element of a much deeper defensive zone, which includes the city of Chasiv Yar to the west”, concludes the analysis which explains the strategic moves of the two parties to the conflict.
The course of hostilities
“The main efforts of the enemy continue to focus on carrying out offensive actions in the areas of Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Mariinka,” the Ukrainian General Staff reported yesterday. “Units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces repulsed 43 enemy attacks in the mentioned front areas over the past day,” the official statement added.
According to the bulletin, Russia remains “on the defensive” in the territories it occupies in the southern Ukrainian provinces of Zaporizhzhia e Khersonwhere, however, it continues to launch attacks against “populated areas” located close to the front line in that area. Near the northeastern city of Kupyanskcontrolled by Ukraine, Russia is erecting fortifications, according to the General Staff in Kiev, and yesterday did not launch attacks in the Liman (East) area, where Russian forces were forced to regroup after suffering heavy losses.
The General Staff also reported that Kiev’s army yesterday launched nine attacks against areas where Russia has concentrated troops and military equipment. Ukraine has also launched three strikes against Russian anti-aircraft missile systems and shot down 10 enemy drones, according to the report.
