Russian forces desperate to capture the strategically important city of Bakhmut in the contested Donbas region are trying to advance over the corpses of their own fallen soldiers, Ukraine’s top general said.
Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday that there was intense fighting along the border of Svatove-Kreminna in the Luhansk region, as well as in the direction of Lysychansk.
“The most challenging situation remains in the Soledar-Bakhmut-Mayorsk area,” the four-star general wrote. “There, the enemy is virtually attempting to advance over their corpses, but the Defenсe Forces units constrain the enemy’s offensive at the cost of supreme efforts.”
Zaluzhnyi said he told US Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about the difficult situation on the front line in their first phone call of the year.
Zaluzhnyi thanked Milley for his help in providing anti-aircraft missile systems to protect civilians. The two generals also discussed “changes in the operational and strategic situation, primarily on the land and in the air space of Ukraine.”

All gaslight, all the time.
It is becoming clearer every day:
Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP. The quicker the better.
Yes to that. ASAP.
putin has decided that one square meter of Ukrainian land is worth one cubic meter of russian meat.
Not bad for a bunch of conscripts with no ammo or food...
I get the same amusement from the official Uke announcements as I got from Baghdad Bob.
I try not to miss any of them.
I’m curious how many American soldiers are on ththe ground wearing Ukrainian flags on their sleeve?
You guys seem to live in an alternate dimension where public displays of Russian incompetence, failure and defeat aren't published daily.
It is becoming clearer every day:
The QTard/Putinist faction of “conservatism” needs to die. The quicker the better.
This happens every time a campaign is winning. You have to walk over the dead to catch the retreating enemy.

There is a list of international soldiers fighting in Ukraine - list is by country - I used to have it, but can’t find now and it was from April so its out of date.
If a Ukrainian spokesperson says it then by God it must be true!
Well, it’s certainly true that we’re 9 months in and the biggest country world is still fighting over random Ukrainian villages.
I’m curious why you think any American soldiers are needed to defeat the corrupt, incompetent and fake Russian army? Ukrainian “farmers and miners” seem to be doing just fine by themselves.
I’m impressed by the cynicism of the Russian government.
Cheerleaders for Putin.
