Bakhmut is living wall that buys us time to get ready for liberation – Zelenskyy

Bakmut and Vuhledar are the hottest spots on the frontline, yet the Ukrainian Armed Forces are causing heavy casualties to the occupiers.  Source: Ukrinform news agency, with reference to Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his joint press conference with Ulf Kristersson, the Prime Minister of Sweden, in Kyiv.  Quote: "Amongst all the tough situations on the front in our country, by far the most tense and complicated one is there [on the Bakhmut front - ed.].

I would add the Vuhledar front to this list as well." "This fortress [Bakhmut - ed.] still lives. By living, I mean as a living wall, consisting of people.

Such a high price does the history of our country pay for this war. Yet, nevertheless, the people are unbowed; they are protecting this city, they hold their positions, comprehending that they are a fortress, which allows the rest of Ukraine to get ready for liberation of all its territories.

They stand firmly, execute their missions and kill - which is, probably, the most important thing today - kill the enemy as much as possible." Background:
