Quote: "The enemy has renewed its activity in this area, switching from defence to active defence and seeking to recapture the positions it has lost. And, consequently, the enemy is attempting to pressure our Defence Forces on the Bakhmut front and south of the town of Bakhmut."

Details: Fito also noted that the Russian troops are trying to "probe" the defences of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, find vulnerabilities and engage their artillery fire upon Ukrainian positions.
