The fighting is intensifying,” Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hania Maliar said via Telegram, referring in particular to the region of Bakhmut and the area around the city of Vugledar.
Russia, having “numerical superiority”, is “intensifying” its operations in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hania Maliar said on Wednesday, hours after Western leaders announced the delivery of tanks to Kyiv.
“The fighting is intensifying,” Ms. Maliar said via Telegram, referring in particular to the Bakhmut district, which Moscow’s troops have been trying to seize for months, as well as the area around Vugledar, a commune in the southwestern part of Donetsk.
It is the first time that Vugledar, a pre-conflict town of around 15,000 in the southwestern part of the front line in Donetsk Oblast, has been explicitly mentioned by the Ukrainian political leadership as being included in the zones where “intense” fighting is taking place.
“The intensity of the fighting is increasing,” Ms. Maliar said last night.
“Now in the Donbass, against their numerical superiority and superior weaponry, our advantage lies in the professionalism of our military command and the courage of our soldiers,” he added.
