Russians push westward from Bakhmut on multiple fronts

Deep State reports it on Telegram. 

The message notes that Russian forces successfully attacked the 188.6 height near Khromove. Enemy footage shows a landed party, followed by the clearing and strengthening of their forces.

Moreover, Russians have made gains between Bakhmut and Ivanivske, losing the 144.0 height. Progress halted in early December, but changes are now pertinent.

“The Russians will likely persist in advancing from Bakhmut to Ivanivske. However, the primary focus may shift to the route from Bakhmut to Chasiv Yar. Losing the 199.4 height will significantly compromise the defense conditions toward Ivanivske. A ridge and a significant elevation, where Chasiv Yar stands, lie just westward. Unlike Bakhmut, this city is strategically crucial for defending the Kramatorsk agglomeration,” the message added.
