In Bakhmut area the fighting intensified again

In Bakhmut sector, the fighting intensified again – a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrotyuk.

Yuriy Syrotyuk, a serviceman of the 5th separate assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, noted that in recent weeks our troops have managed to oust the enemy on the flanks, occupy the commanding heights and advance towards the village of Klishchiivka.

He told about this on Espreso.tv.

“Violent fighting continues in the Bakhmut sector. In recent weeks, we have managed to oust the enemy on the flanks, occupy the commanding heights and advance towards the village of Klishchiivka. We have also strengthened our positions on the southwestern outskirts of Bakhmut – in the so-called Sady, as well as in the Litak area. The enemy has pulled up reserves and is trying to recapture these positions. The Russians have received new reinforcements, and are actively throwing them into battle. That is, we are attacking the enemy and advancing, while they are trying to counterattack and recapture the positions, but fail. It is a bit difficult now. Apparently, the enemy has an order to hold these positions at any cost, so the fighting has intensified again,” said the serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Yuriy Syrotyuk added that the russian occupiers are suffering huge losses; all forest belts are covered with corpses of Russian soldiers who nobody troubles to remove.
