A high-ranking source in the government of Ukraine told TSN.ua in detail about the situation and tactics in the hottest point of the front - Bakhmut.

"The fighters have enough weapons, we have enough soldiers there. As of today, as our generals at Stavka say, it is impossible to surround Bakhmut. "Wagner" put a lot of people there. The enemy uses the tactics of small assault groups - from 10 to 12 people , who die, and others take their place. Sometimes our machine gunners admit that

you can go crazy with the number of shots fired at the enemy

But he adds: "Bakhmut is

a principled position

of the military. The president asks them about this every time during the Staff of the Supreme Commander. The position is shared - it must be held and as of today we will hold it. We explain to our Western partners why we are not leaving. This place , where we eliminate a very powerful resource of the Russians. In fact, the Russian offensive began right there, in May. They use creeping tactics there. We have crushed so many enemy resources there that it is scary to imagine. Not only enemy human resources, but also weapons. According to military estimates is

a decrease in the enemy's offensive resource

The defense of Bakhmut is one of the tasks of preparing the future counteroffensive operation.

Bakhmut today is an outpost that absorbs the main efforts of the enemy.

Bakhmut is a place where

the fate of the future counteroffensive

is being prepared , including".
