Armed Forces of Ukraine reported what is happening near the occupied Bakhmut

To the west of the captured city of Bakhmut, Russian troops have been unable to advance for two months now.

This information was provided by the commander of the fire support company of the 5th Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykola Zinko.

"First and foremost, our success can be considered the fact that we are holding the positions we were at a month and two months ago. This is our success - we continue to defend and do not allow the enemy to capture a single meter of Ukrainian land," noted Zinko.

He added that the Ukrainian defense in the Bakhmut area is effective. "We are destroying the enemy and maintaining our combat capability," said Zinko. He also pointed out that the enemy can hide in the green vegetation behind dense foliage. In such conditions, detecting the occupiers, even with the help of a thermal imaging quadcopter, becomes challenging.
