Fierce battles against Russian invaders continue in the Donetsk direction. The Ukrainian military inflicts maximum losses on the invaders.
Sergeant of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade Stepan Barna told Channel 24 about this. According to him, tough battles continue. Invaders significantly predominate in artillery.
More artillery is needed
As Barna stressed, it is inappropriate to talk in detail now about what exactly the Ukrainian military lacks in order to push back the invaders from Bakhmut, Vuhledar and other settlements of Donbass.
However, in general, the Ukrainian military is significantly lacking artillery. The invaders are actively using it in this direction. Ukrainian units are not yet able to give an equivalent response.
Not enough artillery. Rocket artillery. When you are at zero and you see the number of arrivals from the occupiers and what kind of response is coming from our side … Unfortunately, these are not proportionate things. I would not like to say 1 to 10. Because the situation is much more critical,” said Barna.
