Ukrainian defenders repelled all Russian attacks on the Lyman front and captured 10 servicemen; in Bakhmut, the defence forces made Russian soldiers leave some occupied positions with their counterattacks,General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said, APA reports citing Military Media Center.

"To advance, the enemy uses maximum effort and does not care about anything. Despite significant losses, new assault groups of Wagner, fighters of other private companies, and paratroopers are constantly rushing into battle. But the enemy is unable to take the city (Bakhmut – ed.) under control.

The situation is quite complicated. At the same time, the enemy was counterattacked by our units and left some positions in some parts of the city," said Syrskyi.

According to Syrskyi, intensive combat operations continue on the Bakhmut front, but Russians have not succeeded in breaking through the defence of Ukrainian positions.
