So far, they have managed to liberate more than 40 villages in the region. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy needs to show that Ukraine can win this war and drive the Russians out. Meanwhile, Ukraine is escalating attacks on the southern, Kherson front, where a more significant counter-offensive is expected. According to the Ukrainians, even their attempt to occupy the territory around the second largest thermal power plant in Ukraine, Vuhlehirska, about 27 kilometers from Bakhmut, did not succeed. They have not yet occupied Siversk or attempted a direct attack on Bachmut. As the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) writes, Russian troops are mainly fighting for small and not very important villages. However, Western analysts are skeptical that the Russians will succeed in reaching their main objective in the area, which is the city of Sloviansk. Russia is trying to continue its renewed offensive in Donbass. The current situation in some places may already be different.
