The situation in Bakhmut is decided by the railway and the railway station. The battles wave back and forth here.
/1a
During the last 3 days, the railway station itself has been 2 times in our hands and 2 times in the hands of the tourists.

We are also in a rotation situation, at least two brigades are being withdrawn (including the AZOV battalion where my hockey friend is included, and replaced by the 3rd Assault brigade and the 60th Mechanized Brigade.

At the same time, new weapons are flowing into an increasingly combative stream and our reserves are being put into position. When the weather permits, we get moving.

Our Home Guard has quietly been restructured and as of tomorrow I will be serving in Brovary's Home Guard as an instructor. I thank you for the time in Volya and the 243 battalion.
