Russia has managed to concentrate significant forces in narrow sections near Bakhmut and accumulate a large amount of ammunition for heavy artillery and FPV (first person view) drones, resulting in small tactical successes, Tarasenko explained.

“At the moment, the enemy is attempting to identify the most vulnerable spots in our defense. For two or three weeks now, they have been intensively attacking our units in many sectors,” he said.
