Zelenskyy: Bakhmut is destroying Putin's mercenaries; Russia's losses approach 100,000President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Bakhmut is now breaking not only the Russian army, but also Russia’s mercenaries, but Vladimir Putin will not be stopped even by 100,000 of his citizens losing their lives.Source: Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening address on 19 DecemberQuote: "Bakhmut is the hottest spot on the entire front line - more than 1,300 km of active hostilities.Since May, the occupiers have been trying to break our Bakhmut, but time goes by and Bakhmut is already breaking not only the Russian army, but also the Russian mercenaries who came to replace the wasted army of the occupiers.They wage war and waste people's lives - other people's lives, not those of their loved ones, not their own lives, but the lives of others - just because a group of people in the Kremlin can’t admit to their mistakes and are terrified of reality.Details: Zelenskyy thanked the Ukrainian soldiers who are heroically holding the Bakhmut front, Soledar, Avdiivka, Maryinka, the Kreminna front and the entire Donbas."
