Hello everyone from a new day of the confliction between Russia and Ukraine. Remarkable events continue to take place on the front line of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. I will convey the latest developments to you in a moment.
In our report today, the Bakhmut line, the region where the war is the most severe, will be the main topic of our report. There are many local reports that the Ukrainian army has liberated new areas in the region. So what’s the latest situation? Let’s check it out together.
Russian sources have been frequently sharing urgent coded reports about the Bakhmut line in recent days. The vast majority of these reports are calls to the Kremlin. The impression we get from Russian sources is that there is a very short time left before the city center of Bakhmut fell into the hands of the Ukrainian army.
Wings still retain their importance in the region. Now let’s make a little reminder. The regions we call Wings cover the towns located north and south of Bakhmut. Let’s take a look at the map too. Berkhivka and Yahidne stand out to the north of Bakhmut. The important areas to the south of the city of Bakhmut are Klishchiivka, Kurdyumivka and Andriivka.
Let’s start examining the latest situation from the regions located to the north of Bakhmut. Russian sources recently shared a message with the emergency code. This message was directly related to Berkhivka, which is located north of the city center of Bakhmut. Now let’s look at Berkhivka on the map.
Berkhivka district is located about seven kilometers from the city center of Bakhmut. In addition, the region is also very close to Yahidne, one of the important points in the north of Bakhmut.
When we look at the timeline, it seems that the Russian positions around Berkhivka and Yahidne have been greatly reduced in the last 10 days or so. The situation often mentioned by Russian sources was also related to this issue. Moreover, the latest reports do not seem at all encouraging for the Russian Armed Forces.
