Western sources but independent observers report that the Ukrainians are in dire straits at Bakhmut, and Three other points at risk of falling into the hands of the advancing Russian forces, while reinforcements are constantly being brought in.
Fierce fighting was raging outside Bakhmut as Russian forces pushed their advance into the eastern city with heavy shelling and infantry attacks, Ukraine's presidential office said, with at least five civilians killed and several others wounded during operations over the past 24 hours.
The Ukrainian presidential office said the situation in the northern suburb of Bakhmut, Paraskovika, was "difficult" as Russian forces continued to pound the area with "intense shelling and carrying out raids", and when the Ukrainian side admits this we understand what is taking place in area .
The nearby town of Buhlendar is also under heavy shelling.
Unknown in the area of hostilities, the harsh reality experienced by the Ukrainians is captured, and many media outlets hide it.
He says: “I don't understand where this nonsense comes from. The enemy (the Russians) is becoming more active in all directions, drawing more and more new reserves. Every day, 300 to 500 new fighters approach Bahamut from all directions. The artillery fire is intensifying every day."
It is a snapshot of a moment, but it captures the reality in the area, since the Russians are constantly sending Reserves to the area.
New battles this morning with losses for the Ukrainians and Russians

The truth in the raw and brutal war in Ukraine
The reality that takes place every day in Eastern Ukraine is very different from what is often presented by the international media.
It does not matter what each side seeks in this war, but what happens each time on the battlefields.
The essence of the war so far is that the Ukrainians have withstood inhumane Russian attacks and are holding the Russians in the Eastern part of the country, and that the Russians have gathered a monstrous force to advance westward with a new technique of leveling everything.
"The coverage of the conflict in Ukraine by leading American media, for example, the New York Times and the Washington Post, does not do justice to what is really happening," American journalist Hers said on the air of the War Nerd podcast.
Hersh did not elaborate on what he meant, but when asked by the host if his words meant that the conflict was not going as well for Kiev as the US media is trying to portray, he replied in the affirmative saying: "Russia has more than 350,000 regular military personnel who are not even involved in the conflict,” he said.
The Reserves of the Russian forces will be gradually thrown into the war together with war material manufactured in Russian factories.
The progress and speed of the advance of Russian forces in Moscow's impending offensive will also determine the future of both Ukraine and the Western armaments delivered to Kiev.
