Quote: "We feel the most pressure from the Russians on the Kupiansk and Lyman fronts, but they are also trying to conduct assaults on the Svatove front. We have been repelling the Russian attacks there all day today. It must be said that for two days in a row the number of Russian attacks has been increasing on the Bakhmut front as well, and the Ukrainian forces are under dense artillery fire on these fronts basically all the time."
