The commander of the Eastern group of troops continues his work at the front.

Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi is at the most critical areas of the front together with his units. The Ukrainian military gave a decent rebuff to the enemy and continued to hold the city.

For the defense of Bakhmut, forces and resources are involved, which prevent the enemy from realizing his plan, breaking his plans and forcing him to abandon his advance.

"The real heroes now are the defenders who hold the eastern front on their shoulders, and without sparing either themselves or the enemies inflict maximum losses on it. It is necessary to gain time to accumulate reserves and start the spring counteroffensive, which is not far off." - said Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi.

The commander constantly monitors the operational situation at the front and takes the necessary measures to keep Bakhmut under Ukrainian control.
