NATO Secretary General did not exclude the possible leaving Bakhmut by the Armed Forces fighters in the coming days

Occupation troops under Bakhmut, Jens Stoltenberg said, suffer great losses, but the Russian command continues to bathe reserves. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on March 8 that Bakhmut could fall into the hands of Russian invaders in the coming days. According to him, despite the loss of the Russians, the likelihood of falling the city remains because the enemy throws new units into battle. About it reports The Guardian.

Speaking at the EU Defense Ministers meeting in Stockholm, the Secretary General of the Alliance noted that the city in eastern Ukraine has become the scene of fierce battles in recent months. Russian troops do not attempt to control Bakhmut, throwing new units into the battle. "We see that Russia is throwing more and more troops. And what Russia is lacking, it tries to compensate for the amount. They have suffered great loss Stoltenberg.

At the same time, the Secretary General emphasized that the situation around Bakhmut does not necessarily indicate a turning point in the Russian-Ukrainian war. "This only emphasizes that we should not underestimate Russia. We must continue to support Ukraine," he added. British observers, for their part, noted that fierce battles around Bakhmut have become the longest and bloody during more than the annual invasion of Russia.

They devastated the vast territories of Ukraine and led to the fact that millions of people were forced to leave their homes. We will remind, the spokesman of the eastern group of troops Sergey Cherevaty on March 6 told that the occupation troops of the Russian Federation continue to attempt to surround the Ukrainian military in Bakhmut.
