The Ukrainian military liberated about 20 square kilometers from the Russian Armed Forces in the Bakhmut region, Deputy Defense Minister of Ukraine Anna Malyar said, reported from RBC-Ukraine.

She stressed that information on the course of hostilities should be considered in the complex of all measures of the defense operation and not taken out of context.

At the same time, the enemy is advancing somewhat in Bakhmut itself, completely destroying the city with artillery.
