The infrastructure of Bakhmut, like most settlements in the front-line zone, has been destroyed by 60%, Pavlo Kyrylenko, the head of the Donetsk regional military administration, said on the air of the national telethon.
"The whole world has already seen the photos in which the historic buildings of Bakhmut, which have historical value, are in a terrible state. The buildings of cultural institutions, in which they are now. In general, this is regrettable for all front-line settlements, large and small," said Kyrylenko.
According to him, the Russians spare no effort in trying to advance in this direction, but at the same time suffer huge losses.
