Ukrainian forces holding out ‘against all odds’ in Bakhmut, Zelensky says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the city of Bakhmut, in the eastern Donbas region, is holding its own despite widespread Russian destruction in the area.

“Bakhmut is holding out against all odds,” Zelensky said in his address Sunday. “And although most of the city is destroyed by Russian strikes, our warriors repel constant attempts at Russian offensive there.”

Reuters reported that Ukrainian officials said they sent reinforcements to Soledar, a small town near Bakhmut, to repel attacks from the Russian mercenary group Wagner. Zelensky said in his address that the situation in Soledar is “extremely hard,” as the town faced even more destruction than neighboring Bakhmut.

“There is no such piece of land near these two cities, where the occupier would not have given his life for the crazy ideas of the masters of the Russian regime,” he said in the address. “This is one of the bloodiest places on the frontline.”

Zelensky said that Ukrainian Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi visited the troops near the two cities to commend them for their resilience and to organize the strengthening of Ukraine’s defense, including transferring additional units to the area.

It is a list of a few of the reasons the world must pay attention to Europe and Russian aggression and its obsession with power and empire.

One reason you are wrong so often is you don’t understand things.

You read much of what everyone else reads but you don’t understand it and draw the wrong conclusions.


There were some Ukrainian advocates and agents on FR that were convinced Ukraine would take back Kherson any day now.
They won’t.
They’ll never possess it again.

One would have to dig back through several thousand posts to find that quote.

You did not.
