Quote: "The most intense phase of fighting for Bakhmut is underway. The situation is consistently difficult. The enemy is suffering significant losses in human resources, weapons and military equipment but continues to conduct offensive actions. Our defenders are heroically holding back the enemy's attack in extremely difficult conditions and leaving the enemy no chance to realise its plans."

Details: As he states, the defence of Bakhmut is driven by military necessity and is based on the competent use of the city's defensive capabilities, built fortifications and equipped firing positions.
