'There is no Andriivka left per se,... but as a place, as a square, it is an important square,' says the spokesman of Ukraine's Third Assault Brigade
KYIV, Ukraine – Ukraine said on Friday, September 15, it had recaptured the devastated eastern village of Andriivka, setting the stage for further advances on the southern flank of Bakhmut, the city that fell into Russian hands in May after months of heavy fighting.
The village of Andriivka lies south of Bakhmut, the site of the fiercest and longest battle since the invasion by Russia in February last year. The General Staff also reported “partial success” near Klishchiivka, a village also south of Bakhmut. “They defend their flanks very heavily here because they understand if flank falls completely it will create direct problems to hold the city itself,” he said.
