The Armed Forces did not lose a single position under Bakhmut.
During the week, Bakhmut and events related to him remained the leading topic in Russian telegram channels and mass media, as reported Hanna Malyar, Deputy Minister of Defensein his Telegram channel.
An analysis of the enemy’s propaganda messages shows that this city is extremely important for the enemy. Almost sacred.
The Russians praise themselves and talk about their alleged success and invent stories about the military command of Ukraine.

“And the real situation during the week is such that, despite the presence of weapons:
— the enemy failed to realize his plans;
— the enemy suffered great losses of manpower;
— our defenders advanced 2 km in the direction of Bakhmut;
— we did not lose a single position in Bakhmut this week.”
