The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) near Artemivsk (Bakhmut) is on the defensive and does not conduct offensive operations. About it in an interview DEA News said a reconnaissance officer from the 150th motorized rifle division of the “South” group of the Russian army.
According to the intelligence officer, Ukrainian troops are not attempting an attack. Ukrainian positions in this area are under the position of Russian troops, and therefore a possible attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be successful. In addition, the Russian troops are completely firing on the way, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces supplies its units with ammunition. That’s why the Ukrainian army called this road “the road to hell”.
Unable to attack, the Ukrainian army is limited to the use of artillery. In turn, Russian intelligence officers monitor and correct the work of their artillery. Thermal cameras are used for reconnaissance purposes when unmanned aerial vehicles cannot be used.
