In recent days, the enemy has had some success in advancing, but attempts to surround the city and cut off the roads have been unsuccessful.

Soldier-grenadier of the 5th Separate Assault Brigade Yuriy Syrotyuk “Mamay” reported this live on the “Kyiv” TV channel.

“The situation is stable but difficult. The fighting for Bakhmut has been going on for eight months now. The enemy is continuing to advance by inertia. The enemy continues to destroy its own army in the assaults on the city. In recent days, the enemy has had some success in advancing, but attempts to surround the city and cut off the road near Khromove and Ivanivske have been unsuccessful. The enemy is using all types of artillery, aviation, and bombs,” the soldier reported.
