Rescued Kiev: the Ukrainian army destroyed up to 50,000 Russian soldiers in Bakhmut - expert

According to Ivan Kirichevsky, in the battles for Bakhmut, the Russian army lost about 200 tanks and tens of thousands of soldiers. Such a number of forces would be enough for the onset at a strategic level. The forces of Ukraine's defense destroyed under Bakhmut so many enemy troops that it would be enough for an offensive operation of the strategic level. This was stated by Defense Express expert Ivan Kirichevsky in a comment for Espresso.

According to the expert, in the month of the attack on Bakhmut, Russian troops lost about 50,000 soldiers and up to 200 tanks killed and wounded. "Roughly speaking, if these troops were not destroyed, the Russians could use them to re -attack Kiev. The success that is now laid down to plan a counter -offensive may be unexpectedly more and faster than it now seems to be," Kirichevsky said. He added that the departure of defense forces by the Bakhmutka River was systematic.

Thus, the Armed Forces created a zone of defeat, where the occupiers can attack all types of available weapons at the same time Kirichevsky urges not to expect that the Ukrainian military will stabilize the situation at the front for a month for a long time. As long as possible, the expert continues, the defense forces will continue to defend Bakhmut. The importance of the city is that it influences the future counter -offensive of Ukraine, so fighters need to adhere to the high moral spirit.
