"The situation around Bakhmut remains difficult. Wagner assault units are advancing from several directions, trying to break through the defenses of our troops and advance to the central districts of the town," Syrskyi said.
In the course of tough battles, Ukrainian defenders inflict significant losses on the enemy.
All attempts of the enemy to capture the town are repelled by the fire of artillery, tanks, and other means of fire.
