The invaders have claimed new territories near Bakhmut
The Russian occupiers made significant progress in Bohdanovka to the northwest of Bakhmut. This was reported by the “Donbas Operative” Telegram channel: “The enemy occupied about 40% of the village.”
However, the map published by him does not completely confirm this indicator. The territory that has just been captured by the enemy is marked in red, and it is no more than 10% of the area of the settlement. Previously, the enemy controlled a maximum of 25%. Together, at most, a third of the village.
Up to 25% of Bohdanivka is in the gray zone where active fighting is going on. At least 40% of the settlement is confidently controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Bohdanivka is the first important goal of the invaders on their northern way to Chasovoy Yar, because the village lies on a hill that goes directly to the city.
