Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that the area near Bakhmut and nearby Soledar 'is one of the bloodiest places on the frontline.'
In his Sunday address, Zelensky said that Ukrainian troops"repel constant attempts" at a Russian offensive in Bakhmut, even though"most of the city" has been destroyed. The nearby city of Soledar has faced even more destruction but is holding out as well despite the difficulties, Zelensky said.
He added that Ukrainian Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi visited troops defending Bakhmut and Soledar on Sunday and"awarded the warriors for their resilience."
