Russian forces concentrate in northern part of Donetsk region – officer Prozapas

He said this on the air of the Espreso TV channel.

"The Russian forces have concentrated on the northern part of Donetsk region, they simply do not have enough forces. Permanent fighting continues along the entire front line. In the south of Donetsk region, the fighting is explosive. The Russian forces are amassing forces and trying to make breakthroughs in the combat formations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. From Bakhmut to Vuhledar, the enemy is not successful. But the enemy will try to break through the front in some places to gain operational space. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are holding their positions," Prozapas noted.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces officer also added that the Russian army has no opportunity to concentrate firepower.

"The enemy is making attacks with small infantry units supported by equipment. It seems that the loss of personnel and equipment does not frighten Russian commanders. Russians are ready to die meekly," Prozapas emphasized.

• Serhiy Cherevatyi, spokesman for the Eastern military grouping, said that the Russian occupiers are unable to surround Bakhmut. They are launching dozens of attacks and suffering huge losses, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces are targeting the enemy and wearing down their combat capabilities.

• The Russian forces are trying to push deeper into Bakhmut, but the Ukrainian Defense Forces are not allowing them to do so, and intense fighting continues.
