Ukrainian Military Keep Defense In Bakhmut Direction

BAKHMUT, UKRAINE - DECEMBER 22: A decorated Christmas tree stands in the “Point of Invincibility” where people charge their phones, connect to the network and warm themselves with hot tea on December 22, 2022 in Bakhmut, Ukraine. There are two such points in operation in the front-line city, another one should open soon. Bakhmut is now a battlefield with constant shelling and street fighting on the outskirts. The Ukrainian military has been repelling assaults by the most combat-ready Russian units for five months. The city has turned into burnt ruins. About ten thousand people remain in the surviving cold apartments. Every day there are dead people, in particular under the rubble, but their bodies cannot be retrieved now.
