The Donetsk region's Ukrainian ground forces commander, Colonel General Oleksandr Sirsky said. He said that in the last few days, numerous attacks of Russian forces in the direction of Lyman have been repelled. The enemy's attempts to capture our positions failed. The Russian army suffered serious losses and 10 enemy soldiers were captured. Heavy fighting continues in the direction of Bakhmut. The other party tried to penetrate into our positions in several directions, but it failed. The defence forces made invaders leave some occupied positions with their counter-attacks. According to Sirsky, despite all efforts, the opposing side is unable to capture the city. The situation is quite complicated. According to Sirsky, intensive combat operations continue on the Bakhmut front, but Russians have not succeeded in breaking through the defence of Ukrainian positions.

According to him, 65 tanks, 450 armoured vehicles, 154 artillery systems and 56 rocket fire systems of the opposite side were involved in this direction. This means more military equipment than the Czech and Hungarian armies. Cherevaty said that Russia loses 100 servicemen daily in Bakhmut. He should be noted that Russian armed forces want to capture Bakhmut by May 9 of last year and intense fighting has been going on in Bakhmut for more than seven months.
