First-person body cam shows Ukrainian soldiers firing rifles from trenches of Bakhmut

THE Wolf Pack platoon, part of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of Ukraine Armed Forces, on Tuesday (June 13) released a video purportedly showing soldiers storming Russian trenches during a fierce battle near the town Klishchiivka near the eastern city of Bakhmut.

On June 7, Ukraine claimed that its forces made advances in various sections of the front line with Russia, near the fiercely contested city of Bakhmut.

“The east remains the epicenter of hostilities. In the direction of Bakhmut, our troops switched from defensive to offensive. Over the past day, we have advanced from 200 to 1,100 meters (around 650-3,600 ft) in various sections of the Bakhmut direction,” Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said on Telegram.

Separately, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed in a statement that its forces repelled eight attempts by Ukrainian forces to break through defenses in the region, but that they did not achieve their goal.

A day earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu claimed that the Ukrainian military launched “long-promised” counteroffensives in various parts of the front line in the past three days, which he claimed, were repelled.
