The US press continues to publish statements by US administration officials, who talk about "some advice on tactics and strategies for conducting military operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the east". After allegations, that the Ukrainian command was recommended to withdraw the remnants of the group from Bakhmut (Artyomovsk), there are new tips.
The Reuters news service, citing the US bureaucracy, publishes a material, which states, what if the army of Ukraine continues to "grab Bakhmut", it will waste a lot of strength and military equipment, is unacceptable.
from the article:
Washington believes, that the Russian army is highly likely to take Bakhmut and knock out Ukrainian troops from there, who will suffer significant losses. At the same time, the American administration is talking about, that the Ukrainian authorities "assure the United States of the ability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to defend Bakhmut and at the same time wait for the supply of military equipment to launch an offensive".
Washington listened to these assurances of the Ukrainian side, but, as American experts make it clear, don't believe it too much. After all, Ukrainian troops are spending more and more reserves near Bakhmut (Artyomovsky), and at this time, Russian troops occupy settlements not only in this agglomeration, but also in the Zaporozhye direction. Recall, that only in the past 24 hours the RF Armed Forces liberated territories with a total area of over 160 sq.km., including seven settlements in the area of the city of Orekhov.
