Tentera Ukraine berjaya menawan semula kawasan seluas tiga kilometer persegi berhampiran bandar timur Bakhmut yang dilanda pertempuran.
Perkara itu disahkan oleh Timbalan Menteri Pertahanan Ukraine, Ganna Malyar dalam satu wawancara disiarkan di televisyen.
Bagaimanapun, Malyar mengakui pasukan tentera Ukraine tidak melakukan `kemajuan’ besar di bahagian hadapan selatan. Jun lalu, Ukraine melancarkan serangan balas terhadap tentera Russia selepas menerima senjata dari negara Barat selain membina unit tempur infantri.“Secara keseluruhannya, kawasan seluas 43 kilometer persegi di sekitar bandar itu sudah dibebaskan sejak serangan bermula,” katanya.Bandar itu ditawan oleh tentera Russia pada musim panas lalu selepas dilanda pertempuran yang berlangsung selama beberapa bulan.“Pasukan pertahanan kami terus mara di kawasan Berdyansk dan Melitopol,” katanya.
Minggu lalu, Menteri Luar Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba berjanji pasukan tentera akan membebaskan semua wilayah diduduki oleh Russia tanpa mengira masa yang akan diambil. – AFP
