Russian troops are facing difficulties in advancing towards Bakhmut, Donetsk region. Ukrainian defenders successfully impede the progress of the invaders. However, the situation on this segment of the front continues to remain highly tense and intense.

This was announced by the head of the press service of the 26th artillery brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleh Kalashnikov during the telethon.

It is noted that “the enemy was unable to advance along any sections of the Bakhmut front.” However, occupation forces are still carrying out attacks in several forward positions.

"In the direction of Chasiv Yar - this is Bogdanivka. It is she who suffers from constant assaults. This is Ivanovskoye, which covers highway 0504 to Konstantynivka. Here the enemy is also trying to constantly counterattack and storm us. He does not give rest to Klishchiivka and Andriivka. Here we continue to observe powerful attempts to knock us out from positions,” said Kalashnikov.

According to the military statement, Russian artillery operates continuously both day and night. In addition, the invaders use high-explosive aerial bombs.
