Russian forces continue to focus on conducting offensive actions in the direction of Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdijivka and Marjinka. More than 70 enemy attacks were repulsed there in the last day, the Ukrainian General Staff said in its regular morning report. According to analysts from the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Russians have advanced in Bakhmut in recent days, but there are no signs that the Ukrainians have withdrawn from the area. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in Warsaw on Wednesday that Ukrainian forces would withdraw from Bakhmut if necessary to avoid encirclement.
