The commander of the Ukrainian ground forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), Alexander Syrsky, said that the leadership of the military forces made several decisions to strengthen the defense of Bakhmut (Russian name Artemivsk). This was reported on the commander’s social networks.
According to the military, more than 80% of Bakhmut is currently controlled by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
“Together with the commanders, we have taken a number of necessary decisions to ensure effective defense,” Syrsky said.
On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to organize a special military operation in Ukraine in response to a request for assistance from the heads of the LPR and DPR.
The decision to run the operation became the justification for new sanctions against Russia by the United States and its allies.
