The Ukrainian forces, following suicidal choices by the military command, launched waves of attacks on the northern side of Bakhmut, Berkhovka, suffering an outrageous defeat.
We remind you that the Ukrainians have already suffered huge losses on the left "side" of Bahmut, Klishifka.
This fact angered even Washington. CNBC reported that US advisers have urged Ukrainian authorities to abandon the idea of returning Artemovsk (Bakhmut) by military means, as the Ukrainian Army is suffering huge losses in manpower and equipment.
The head of Rochan Consulting, Konrad Muzyka, noted that the Ukrainian side has lost a large number of armored vehicles, ammunition and artillery systems that could be used on other fronts of the counterattack. Now Kiev is unable to make up for what it lost.
CNBC points out that the Ukrainian side does not listen to the advice of Washington and takes many hasty actions. Earlier, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson called the Ukrainian counterattack a "massacre" in which Kiev is leading its troops.
CNBC devotes an entire article to expressing Washington's outrage over Zelensky's military choices.
Annihilation of Ukrainians in Berkhovka
The Ukrainian army intensified offensive operations in the Bakhmut area. The infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, supported by armored groups, are attacking from several directions, trying to flank the city from the north and south.
The main targets of the Ukrainian Army are the settlements of Kleshcheevka and Berkhovka, where strategic heights are located. According to Ukrainian intelligence sources, the main idea of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to cover Bakhmut from the north and south, with further encirclement of the city.
A few days ago, Ukrainian forces managed to enter after 1.5 months of fighting inside the settlement of Berkhovka.
Soon after, Russian troops launched a counterattack on the northern side of Artemovsk. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation conducted a counterattack in the Berkhovka region for the third day, including the western and southwestern directions to the settlement.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to advance in the direction of Yagodny with low-intensity attacks. Both sides use a lot of artillery, mortars and almost the whole range of weapons.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian army reported that Berkhovka is under heavy fire from the Russian air force and artillery, and added that Russian troops carried out a series of counterattacks in the Berkhovka area.
Under heavy fire are 15 settlements, including Vasyukovka, Chasov Yar, Aleksandro-Shultino, Dilievka and Severnoye.
At night, the Russian force prepared deadly "gifts" for the Ukrainian Army.
Every night, Tula's paratroopers mine the first line of defense. After the recent Ukrainian infiltration attempts, the minefields are constantly being upgraded.
Russian soldiers laid anti-tank minefields and anti-personnel minefields meter by meter.
"Within 2 hours they covered a huge area," Russian sources say.
The reliable security of the Russian positions was confirmed once again the next day, when large numbers of Ukrainians and their equipment, including Western-made, were blown up in minefields.
The Russian 200th brigade then destroyed a cluster of Ukrainian armored vehicles.
