Ukrainian forces make progress in Bakhmut sector – Terra reconnaissance unit commander

He said this on Espreso TV. 

“The front line in the Bakhmut sector is characterized by the enemy losing the initiative. Of course, in some places the enemy is trying to attack, but these are attempts to divert our attention. These are imitation actions rather than real attempts to attack and achieve any real result. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are now playing number one, the initiative is on our side. We impose the pace on the Russian forces, and we decide whether they will defend themselves, whether they will have the opportunity to maneuver or not,” Volokhov emphasized.

According to the unit's commander, the Russian troops are forced to call in reserves.

“All those who are now standing on the enemy positions are tired. The Russians are having problems with the forces that held the positions. And we already understand what they have and what we can expect from their reserve. In the future, it will be easier for us to plan offensive actions. In the direction of Klishchiivka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have made some progress,” Volokhov emphasized.

• On June 19, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' General Staff reported that the Russian troops were attacking in the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Marinka directions. Despite the losses, the Russians are trying to advance, but are not successful.

• Commander of the AFU Land Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi showed a video of the night work of snipers of the Special Operations Forces in the Bakhmut direction and said that the enemy is gradually losing ground there.
