The front line Fierce fighting continued in the Bakhmut direction, with non-stop artillery fire being exchanged by both sides. Ukrainian soldiers said that Russia’s tactic around Bakhmut was to “cover everything with corpses.” According to the Ukrainians, Russian soldiers march in groups of 30, “like zombies,” trying to push through their positions. Russian propaganda project WarGonzo claimed that Wagner Private Military Company (PMC) fighters tried to attack south of Bakhmut from Kurdiumivka, with counterattacks from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) occurring on the eastern outskirts of the city. According to these reports, there are also counterattacks near Soledar in the area of Bakhmutske and Bilohorivka in the Donetsk region. WarGonzo also reported Russian attacks near Novomykhailivka and Pobeda in the Donetsk direction, fierce fighting in the city limits of Marinka, and attempts to storm Nevelske. (…) The US wants to supply the Ukrainian army with equipment based on Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) technology, which can turn unguided aircraft munitions into so-called «smart bombs,” reported The Washington Post, citing high-ranking US officials. JDAM kits can be installed in the middle and tail end of a missle, and can hit enemy positions with high accuracy through the use of GPS.
