 The Ukrainian armed forces have driven out the Russian troops beyond the borders of Bakhmut in eastern Donetsk region. Pavel Kirilenko, head of the Donetsk Military Regional Administration, reported on Wednesday night. In his words, although the invaders have suffered heavy losses, they are not much concerned about this. Although the enemy is trying to enter the city, they cannot advance. Their progress has been prevented. They were thrown back to their previous positions, that is, outside of the city. Russian soldiers are in a desolate area. This causes them to suffer heavy losses. But the invaders are bringing in additional forces, said Kirilenko. The official noted that Ukrainian fighters adapt to the Russian army's tactics, protecting Bakhmut and preventing the enemy from advancing.
