For the last several weeks this road has been the primary supply and evacuation route for Ukrainian forces defending Bakhmut. Simultaneously heavy fighting is taking place to the northwest of the city, along the road through Khromove, nicknamed by Ukrainian troops as the “Road of Life”. The situation is extremely difficult with additional VDV forces being committed to the fight to overwhelm the struggling Ukrainian line.
These gains means that the Russian forces cannot be taken as separate approach vectors, one from the north and one from the east, but rather as a single cumulative front.
The Russians have also advanced from the north of the city, thus endangering a number of Ukrainian positions with encirclement. According to the most recent information Russian forces have broken through the Ukrainian defensive lines along the railway.
