For the words of experts, the attack of the enemy on the city in Donetsk region has become much less and is due to the exhaustion of the forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the report also mentions the fact that Ukraine in the city also suffers high losses.
"The situation of Russia is also probably deteriorating due to the tension in relations between the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Wagner group, which provide the troops with this sector," the report said. Russian invaders, apparently, shifted their focus to the city of Avdiivka, which is on the south side of Bakhmut. They also aimed at the Kreminna-Svatovo direction. In this way, the opponent will try to stabilize his front line.
"This involves a general return to a more defensive operational scheme after the unconvincing results of their attempts to draw a general offensive from January 2023," - summed up in British intelligence. It is worth noting that in a virtually destroyed city, which has been stormed by the occupiers for many months, there are at least 10,000 civilians trying to survive, as reported by the Reuters portal.
