Now the main task of the Russians in the Donbass is to reach Slovyansk and Kramatorsk. Thus, they would be able to move further to the borders of the Donetsk region.
In this, the invaders are hindered by Bakhmut, into which they “rested” and cannot advance. ThisChannel 24 was told by a military expert, a colonel in the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and an instructor pilot Roman Svitan.
Soledar was a diversionary maneuver
Russian invaders are trying to bypass the indestructible fortress of Bakhmut. Now the main direction of movement of the Russians is becoming clear and this is not Soledar. Thus, the city was rather a diversion than the main goal of the Russian invaders.
Thus, the last few days the invaders have been working south of Bakhmut. Namely, under Kleschievka towards Chasov Yar.
The Russians are trying to cut off the road from Konstantinovka to Bakhmut, going straight to Chasov Yar or the same Konstantinovka. They strike the main blow here,” the military expert said.
According to him, our command figured out this maneuver and left reserves here, which fulfilled their role and stopped the advance of the enemy. The road from Konstantinovka to Bakhmut is one of the main ones, which is why our troops are holding the Russians here.

Ukrainian Armed Forces hold the line of defense
Svitan said that the main line of defense of the Armed Forces in the region is located on the heights of the left bank of the Bakhmutka River. the line of defense itself is being held, and not only here, but along the entire Bakhmutka River, – said the colonel of the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Consequently, this front has stabilized. The Russians “rested” against the line of defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along the Bakhmutka River and were stopped both from the North and from the South. Now Bakhmut is not in danger of being surrounded by the occupying army.
The situation on other fronts: in short
- The front line in the Luhansk region is mostly stabilized, with the exception of the site in the Kremennaya area. Intense battles continue there, each side is trying to achieve internal superiority.
- In the south of Ukraine, active work of artillery continues, and from both sides. The Russian invaders are constantly trying to influence our front line.
- Thus, under this influence, the enemy is trying to concentrate enough forces and means in the area of Vasilyevka and Orekhov, which is in the Zaporozhye region, with a possible plan of advancing then directly in the direction of Zaporozhye.
- At the same time, the Ukrainian defenders constantly strike not only at the front line of the enemy, but also exert a fiery influence on the places of concentration of personnel, bases and ammunition depots of the occupiers. On the left bank of the Kherson region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are attacking Russian invaders in the Melitopol region.
