On the eve of the Ukrainian defenders withstood several assault attacks by the invaders. To continue the offensive, Russian mercenaries entrenched themselves in one of the workshops and accumulated strength.
In Bakhmut, where fierce battles are now continuing, Ukrainian border guards fought the invaders and liquidated a group of “Wagnerites”. This was reported by the press service of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
It is noted that the border unit of the Lugansk detachment held a positional battle with enemy forces in the area of one of the industrial enterprises of Bakhmut.
The day before, the Ukrainian defenders withstood several assaults by the invaders, and in order to continue the offensive, the latter entrenched themselves in one of the workshops and accumulated strength.
“To destroy the center of the invaders, the border guards launched a counterattack. Thus, our fighters from the SPG-9 heavy grenade launcher destroyed a machine gunner who was covering the approach to the structure. A ground reconnaissance group of border guards went to the breakthrough and liquidated the Wagnerites,” the report says.
The Ukrainian defenders expected the enemy reserve to be brought up, so they set up an ambush in advance. The assault group of invaders moved out at night, but a “surprise” was waiting for them there. Snipers-border guards neutralized six “Wagnerites”.
The command of the RF Armed Forces has begun to apply a new practice of punishing those mobilized who record videos with complaints, or those who refuse to storm. They are transferred to the PMC “Wagner” as “cannon fodder”, where they take away their phone, documents, and for any violation or refusal to go on the attack they can be shot.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation found a way out on how to “bleach” the invaders in the occupied territories who got into a mess with civilians. In the event of “accidents” with civilians, they were ordered to pretend to be fighters of the Wagner PMC.
