It is reported that in its reports the General Staff of Ukraine stated that in just a day Ukrainian troops reflected 47 attacks of the Russian Federation in the Avdeevsky direction and 57 attacks of Russians in the Bakhmut direction. Moreover, much more attacks in the direction of the Yar. However, as it is predicted in ISW, one day is not enough to establish the pattern of actions of the occupiers.
