Russia-Ukraine Conflict Intensifies in Donetsk Region, Ukrainian Forces Repel Enemy Attacks
The situation on the ground has shown little change despite reports from the Ukrainian military indicating that more than 45 enemy attacks were repelled over the past day. The focus of these attacks was centered around Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Mariinka in the Donetsk region.
Heavy fire exchanges have been reported at various parts of the front line, with the Ukrainian military stating that there were 17 air strikes and more than 20 strikes by multiple launch rocket systems. The General Staff has confirmed that the enemy is trying to take full control over the city of Bakhmut and continues to storm it.
Ukrainian forces have reported successes in repelling enemy attacks, with Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander of Ukrainian Land Forces, stating that soldiers and commanders from the Wagner fighters and Russian paratroopers had been defeated. However, the General Staff has emphasized that the situation remains fluid and that there is still much work to be done.
Syrskyi also warned that the enemy is trying to cover up its failures by spreading false information about the capture of Bakhmut. The General Staff has confirmed that the forward movement of Ukraine's entire army depends on what every soldier is doing right now in their section of the front.
Fighting continues to be intense in areas such as Avdiivka and Mariinka, with Russian forces having surrounded these locations on three sides. Denis Pushilin, leader of the self-declared Donetsk Peopleβs Republic, claimed that Russian forces were still advancing in the Avdiivka direction.
Meanwhile, Oleksii Dmytrashkivskyi, spokesperson for the military in the Donetsk area, has stated that there are operational successes to be had and that Ukrainian forces have taken key positions. However, he also warned of difficulties on the ground, including challenging terrain and weather conditions.
The situation remains critical, with both sides suffering significant losses. The Russian military's "diet" of ammunition for assaults is also a concern, according to Dmytrashkivskyi. Despite these challenges, Ukrainian forces remain committed to defending their territory and pushing back against the enemy advances.
