由于“俄罗斯武装力量的强大防御和反击”，乌克兰武装部队无法在巴赫穆特附近前进。 一名乌克兰医生告诉《华尔街日报》的记者：“这是一场艰苦的战斗，我们需要更多的人和更多的装备。我们筋疲力尽。” 巴赫穆特方向的主要冲突现在正在巴赫穆特南部的克列什切夫卡附近以及往北沿M03公路向斯拉夫扬斯克方向进行。 美国媒体在他们的报道中总结说：“这种情况削弱了基辅占领该城市的希望。” The Armed Forces of Ukraine can no longer advance in the vicinity of Bakhmut due to the "powerful defense of the RF Armed Forces and Russian counterattacks" “ This is a tough fight and we need more people and more equipment. We are exhausted,” a Ukrainian physician told The Wall Street Journal correspondent. The main clashes in the Bakhmut direction are now taking place near Kleshcheevka, south of Bakhmut, and along the M03 highway to the north, towards Slavyansk. “ The situation undermines hopes that Kiev will occupy the city,” the American edition concludes in its material.
