All of our press officers unanimously agreed to provide photos and better videos because this is our joint effort. This is our history, this is about us, this is our DNA, — added the Ukrainian Ground Forces press officer Ilya Yevlash.

The exhibition "Steel Titans of Bakhmut" was presented at the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War on October 1, 2023 — the Day of Ukraine's Defenders. The exhibition focuses on the personal stories of the defenders of the fortress city of Bakhmut, who participated in one of the most significant and challenging battles of the beginning of the 21st century.

What is the situation in the Bakhmut direction?

The Russian occupation forces have significantly intensified in Bakhmut's direction. The company sergeant of the UAV combat drones "Achilles" unit of the 92nd AFU Separate Assault Brigade, Oles Malyarevich, noted this.

The 92nd Separate Assault Brigade has been operating south of Bakhmut for a long time. Our area of responsibility is the district of Klishchiivka and Andriivka. The enemy continues to carry out shock and assault actions every day, trying to regain the positions lost in the fall, but has no territorial and tactical successes. In other words, the line of defense is holding firm in this area, the AFU officer emphasised.

According to Malyarevich, a few days ago, his unit destroyed nine Russian military equipment vehicles during the battle.

British intelligence continues to assess Ukraine's successes on the front and beyond

As previously mentioned, on the night of March 20, Ukrainian soldiers carried out an attack from an unmanned aerial vehicle on an ammunition depot located at the Russian strategic aviation airbase "Engels-2".

According to the latest data, a large amount of aviation ammunition was stored in the territory that came under a powerful strike, which the Russian army actively used against Ukraine.

The UK Ministry of Defense has forecast that significant enemy losses will likely prevent the organization and conduct of strike operations from the airfield in the short term.

Russian aircraft were most likely dispersed to surrounding airfields, which has become standard practice in response to Ukrainian deep-strike operations, British intelligence officials say.

The Defense Department concluded that this strike was Ukraine's most successful attack on a Russian ammunition depot in 2025.
