Russia will storm Bakhmut to the last soldier - military expert Svitan

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

"A few weeks ago, there was a peak of Russian offensives, when they could organize 150 to 170 attacks on the positions of the Ukrainian army along the entire front line per day. Now they attack more than 120 times a day. However, the complete decline of the Russian offensive potential is still very far away," explained Svitan.

The military expert is convinced that Russian troops will continue to concentrate their forces to capture Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

"Russians are not reducing the number of attacks on Ukrainian positions in Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Bilohorivka and Kreminna. They are simply reducing the number of attacks in other parts of the frontline. However, their attacks in Donetsk and Luhansk regions are not decreasing and are unlikely to decrease. Russians will storm Bakhmut to the last soldier," he added.

• On March 21, the British Ministry of Defense reported that Russian troops are trying to advance deeper into Bakhmut, but Ukrainian defenders are preventing them from doing so. Intense fighting continues in the city.
