500 killed per day: Reznikov told about the tactics of Russians under Bakhmut
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov told this in an interview with the Italian edition of La Repubblica. Reznikov noted that the Ukrainian military command calls the offensive of Russian troops "creeping". This is due to the tactics of the Kremlin, according to which the fighters of the Russian PEC "Wagner" are sent to the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces with waves in order to move only a few meters. "For example, in Bakhmut. Twenty of them attack our positions and we kill them.
After a while, twenty -twenty, and twenty, in a continuous cycle. Our general at the Eastern Front said that in a day in the Russians 500 killed and 900 wounded, " - quoted Reznikov journalists. The Ukrainian Defense Minister also stressed that Bakhmut is a stronghold whose protection reduces the enemy's capabilities for the offensive.
We will remind that on February 26 the press service of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported the elimination of the assault group of the enemy in Bakhmut. It is reported that the Armed Forces in the melee destroyed nine invaders. Earlier, on February 25, Russian propagandists stated that in the Bakhmut area, the Ukrainian military allegedly undermined the dam to slow down the occupation of the invaders.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on February 25, the Russian Federation transferred 200 police officers from the Bakhmut from the special purpose regiment "Akhmat" to prevent possible desertion of mobilized or sabotage. On February 22, the founder of the Russian PEC "Wagner" Yevhen Prigogin published a photo of the Wagner killed in Ukraine, accusing the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of poor supply of ammunition.
