The enemy is trying to take control of Bakhmut and is suffering heavy losses.

The enemy is concentrating the largest number of its forces in Bakhmut and dreams to take the city completely under its control. However, the Defence Forces are holding back the enemy's pressure in dynamic battles, inflicting significant losses," Syrsky said.
