Ukraine forces have made significant progress in the fight for the key eastern city of Bakhmut, destroying Russian trenches on the outskirts of the city. The city of Bakhmut, once home to around 70,000 people, has been the scene of some of the fiercest fighting in recent days as Russian forces attempt to take control of the Kostiantynivka-Bakhmut highway.
The Ukrainian Border Guard reported that their fighters tracked down the hiding place of the enemy infantry and hit it with mortars, resulting in five “invaders” being buried under rubble and four occupants being wounded. The Border Guard also stated that the attack destroyed the structure, turning it into a “grave”.
The city of Bakhmut has been reduced to a hollowed-out shell of its former self, with the sound of shells, incoming and outgoing, filling the air. Even a quick trip to see the central square must be undertaken with one eye on the clock, and the other vigilantly surveilling the sky.
The fight for Bakhmut has become a rallying cry for the nation, with the phrase “Bakhmut holds” being used as a battle cry. Ukraine forces have made significant progress in the fight for the city, and it remains to be seen if they can hold on to their gains.
