Vertailun vuoksi Micek kirjoittaa tuoreesti Bakhmutista seuraavasti.Bakhmutin suunnasta on ristiriitaista tietoa. AP:n mielestä tilanne on heikentynyt.
Viittaa mahdollisesti Opytnen suuntaan, jossa ryssällä on edistystä, yrittää kiertää etelästä.
Vaikea uskoa että Ukraina olisi joutumassa todellisiin vaikeuksiin täällä. Bakhmut on todella tärkeä kulmakivi tällä rintamalla, ja reservejä on ihan varmasti käytettävissä.
Situation of AU forces near Bakhmut. To the south of it, the situation of the AU is difficult and heavy fighting is underway in the region of the T0513 road, which the RUS forces were supposed to cross. It is not yet known whether the RUS forces have approached the Kliszcziwka - Kurdyumiwka railway line. 1/
For now, there are no reasons to worry - the UA has more lines of defense here and the RUS suffer heavy losses. Once, AU forces recaptured this area from the RUS with a strong counterattack. This time it may be similar, and even if not, the successes of the RUS are irrelevant for the entire Eastern Front. 2/
East of the city, the situation is stable. To the north-east of Bakhmut there was an attack by the RUS tonight. It was repelled by thermo drones and artillery attacks. The RUS suffered heavy losses, and the UA did not lose a single meter of terrain. Soledar - no change. 3/
The RUS sent a mass of infantry into battle again without numerous heavy weapons support. At the same time, what is very interesting, the AU does not seem to be sending additional reserves to the region (apart from the usual rotation of forces). And they have allowances. It seems to me that the reserves are already being prepared for something else.
