Russian invaders use equipment very cautiously in Bakhmut direction - reconnaissance unit commander Volokhov

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

"In this war, the Russians have failed to use armored vehicles. First, they failed to break through to Kyiv with tank columns. Then they failed to implement anything with the help of equipment in the Kherson region. That is why they are unable to achieve much even now. They can't use their superiority in equipment," Volokhov explained.

The commander of the Terra reconnaissance unit added that the Russians are being very cautious in their use of equipment in the Bakhmut sector.

"The battle for Bakhmut is a heroic story of infantry confrontation. Indeed, the Russian forces have equipment in this area. However, they are trying to use it very carefully. Because as soon as we detect their equipment, they immediately lose it. Again, they have no effectiveness from their superiority in equipment," he added.
