Zelensky said that "the Russian army turned Bakhmut into scorched ruins." This is what the city looks like

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in circulation, following the results of the 289th day of the war, spoke about the situation at the front in the Donbass. He stated that the city of Bakhmut was practically destroyed.

The front -line situation remains very difficult in key directions in the Donbass - Bakhmut, Soledar, Maryinka, Kremennaya ... On the earth of these areas there was no longer a living space that was not damaged by shells and fire for a long time.

The invaders actually destroyed Bakhmut - another city of Donbass, which the Russian army turned into scorched ruins.

I thank all our heroes, all soldiers and commanders who hold the front in these directions, repel attacks and inflict tangible losses in response to the hell to Ukraine under the Russian flag.

Bakhmut is a key direction of the Russian army in the Donbass. Since July, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have advanced in this direction about ten kilometers. Experts of the American Institute for the Study of War believe that Russian troops will be able to take Bakhmut only at the cost of large losses.
