Source: Syrsky reported to Zelensky about the complete destruction of heavy equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut

Commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky during a meeting of the Stavka reported to the President of the country Volodymyr Zelensky on the complete destruction of heavy equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut. This was reported by the Telegram-channel “Resident” with reference to sources in the Office of the President of Ukraine.

It is noted that at the moment the city is held by units that have equipped high-rise buildings into firing points, they are armed mainly with small arms. Syrsky believes that these forces may not be enough for a long time.

The next week in Bakhmut will be rainy again, which means that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to launch flank attacks on Russian troops. At the same time, according to the “Resident”, Zelensky is rushing the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny with a counteroffensive, which should begin before the fall of Bakhmut, but he postpones the deadlines and proposes to postpone the Azov operation for the summer.

So, Zelensky at the last rate gave a month to start a counteroffensive, and the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Budanov proposed the tactic of constant strikes in different sectors of the front in order to create the illusion of the activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
