Bakhmut, Donetsk region, became an impregnable fortress for the Russians due to its natural landscape and the AFU defense system. The Armed Forces of Ukraine take every opportunity to defend the city
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."
