Russian troops seek initiative in northern Bakhmut, situation complicated compared to south — DeepState

Roman Pohorilyi, co-founder of DeepState, shared the information on Espreso TV.

"The changes on the map are not significant, but they are there, the occupiers are putting pressure in this direction. Unfortunately, it is not a very favorable position for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in terms of geography. But the situation is stabilizing, the pressure is essentially repelled, there are no major shifts there now," Pohorilyi said.

According to him, the situation is now under control, but the situation in the northern part of Bakhmut remains more difficult than in the south.

• Over the last day in the Bakhmut direction, Ukrainian troops repelled attacks near Khromove, Donetsk region. Russian troops also tried unsuccessfully to regain lost ground near Klishchiivka and Andriivka. Ukrainian defenders repelled over 10 attacks there. The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue their assault operations south of Bakhmut in Donetsk region, inflicting losses in manpower and equipment on the Russian army, and consolidating their positions. This was reported by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

• On October 25, Oles Malyarevych, a sergeant with the Achilles company of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after Ivan Sirko, noted that the initiative was on the side of the Ukrainian army near Bakhmut.
