«Over the past day, Ukrainian defenders have advanced to the south of Bakhmut, in different frontline sectors, from 100 to 300 meters,” Yevlash added.
In his words, the occupiers’ positions are deteriorating, namely to the south of Bakhmut. Russians are preparing to retreat to the Horlivka-Bakhmut highway, which used to be under fire control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“In some areas, the Armed Forces of Ukraine overcame a barrier, which is rather difficult to storm and easy to defend. It is a man-made embankment, which was challenging for storming. If this rubicon is crossed, the new opportunities are opening up,” Yevlash explained.
At the moment, enemy troops are strengthening mining and blasting efforts, sowing mines on roads, crossings, fields, and creating barriers to hold back Ukraine’s advance.«
