 Ukraine prepares a surprise for the Russians in Bakhmut. No one is withdrawing Ukrainian troops from Bakhmut yet. Said Nikita Shandiba, head of the press service of the 10th Adelweiss Mountain Assault Brigade, OK Ukraine. Thus Shandiba commented on the information of a number of observers and the media about the alleged tactical withdrawal of the armed forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut. The situation in Bakhmut is difficult. The Russian invaders are constantly trying to break through the defence of the armed forces of Ukraine with meat assaults. The road of life of the armed forces of Ukraine is being held. Active battles are going on for it. The Russians are trying to cut off our logistics, but the defence forces are holding it. On account of the withdrawal of troops from Bakhmut, 100% no. The soldier said he noted that the Ukrainian army is actively defending itself and is preparing a small surprise for the enemy. Meanwhile, Russia is focusing its forces on its assault of the eastern city of Bakhmut. General staff of the armed forces of Ukraine said that Russia is focusing its efforts on conducting offensive operations on the Bakhmut Avdivka and Marinka fronts. On the Bakhmut front, Russia continues to conduct offensive operations. Ukrainian troops hold up in a network of dimly lit and cramped basements in the city's western districts have been making a determined last stand against Russia in the longest and bloodiest battle of the war. Ukraine is defending street by street at a significant cost.
