He reported this on Telegram.

According to Syrskyi, the Russian forces have greater resources, but they have been unable to penetrate the defense of the Armed Forces.

"The Wagner fighters entered Bakhmut like rats walking into a trap. Employing the principle of active defense, we are engaging in counter offensive actions in certain areas near Bakhmut. While the enemy possesses more resources, we are thwarting their plans," stated Colonel General Sirskyi.

"Together with unit and subdivision commanders, we have extensively discussed and made the necessary decisions to continue the defense operation. We have analyzed all potential scenarios for the unfolding events," added Syrskyi.

Additionally, he honored the defenders by presenting them with awards and tokens of appreciation, expressing gratitude for their heroic efforts.
