Fighting near Bakhmut
Bakhmut has been the epicenter of hostilities in eastern Ukraine for many months. Since the end of May, Ukrainian defenders have intensified their offensive actions on the flanks of Bakhmut.
Commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskii, previously explained that the Ukrainian Armed Forces could encircle Bakhmut operationally. This would prevent occupiers from remaining in the city.
Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Maliar stated that Ukrainian forces had liberated approximately 47 square kilometers in the Bakhmut direction during the counteroffensive.
