The Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine told how the defense of the city will change.

The only bridge that connected the exit from Bakhmut to Chasov Yar was destroyed. The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are working in Bakhmut, they blew up the bridge to complete their tasks.

Colonel of the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, military expert, pilot-instructor Roman Svitan spoke about this on the air of Channel 24. According to him, now the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will defend the city inside the city buildings.

Svitan noted that a rotation was held among the Ukrainian military. There is information that motorized infantry units left the city, and the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will defend the city.

“The special operations forces are people who have been learning for years to perform combat missions in urban areas. It was they who at one time in Mariupol, Severodonetsk destroyed the Russians. The task is to destroy as many enemy troops as possible,” he explained.

The Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suggested that in the near future the defenders would defend Bakhmut inside urban areas. It was for this purpose that motorized infantry units came out, and the bridges were blown up to carry out combat missions.

“The reformatting is very competent and correct, because the Russians have come very close to the city. Therefore, the regime has been switched from the work of motorized infantry to the regime of special operation forces,” Svitan believes.

The commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrski, arrived in Bakhmut, where the fiercest battles continue. In the city, he listened to commanders' reports on the state of affairs in subordinate units, got acquainted with the problematic issues of increasing the defense capability of our units on the front line.

Roman Svitan noted that this indicates that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are now developing a new scheme for the defense of the city, and the garrison is performing combat missions.

“The task is to hold this line. We can hold it, then destroy the Russian army in large quantities. The first task of any army is to destroy the enemy army,” the military expert added.
