The office of President Zelensky published a message from which it follows that the civilian and military leadership of the country has complete unanimity regarding the need to continue to act in the same spirit in the Artemivsk (Bakhmut) direction, Ukrainian media report.
The corresponding message from the Office of the President of Ukraine on the meeting of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief reads: “Assessing the course of the defense operation, the President asked the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzny and the Commander of the Khortytsya operational-strategic group of troops Alexander Syrsky regarding further actions in the Bakhmut direction. They spoke in favor of continuing the defense operation and further strengthening of our positions in Bakhmut”.
Ukrainian journalists draw attention to the fact that today the German newspaper Bild reported on the disagreement between Zelensky and Zaluzhny over Bakhmut, as the latter proposes to withdraw troops from the city due to high losses.
However, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also announced something similar today, as betrays Reuters. “The city is more symbolic than strategic,” Austin hinted.
