It was reported by the AFU Ground Forces comander, Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi.
"We prepared Bakhmut and the area for defense in advance. This area has a peculiar landscape. The city is surrounded by hills, and it functions as an obstacle for the enemy," he explained.
"A system of well-engineered barriers in combination with the natural landscape turned this area into a real impregnable fortress; more than one thousand enemies died by its walls," added Syrskyi.
He emphasized that the AFU take every opportunity to "destroy the best enemy units."
