The battle for control of the city of Bakhmut has become the decisive front in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. The Ukrainian army displays its defensive prowess while attacking the Russian army through aggressive operations, while Russia is launching a coordinated offensive. The recent destruction of a Russian army ammunition storage facility in the Bakhmut region by the Ukrainian army has affected Russia's war effort, particularly the Chechen forces of Kadyrov and Wagner. The military forces of Ukraine are currently making progress towards the city's eastern neighborhood despite Russia's control over 30% of the city's land mass. Western partners of Ukraine have donated tanks and weapons to support their military efforts against the Wagner forces and the Russian troops. Despite suffering significant losses, the Russian army resumed its offensive operations, while Ukraine effectively repelled more than 100 Russian assaults in several directions. The Russian army allegedly carried out missile strikes on civilian infrastructure targets in the Sumy and Donetsk regions, resulting in innocent bystanders' casualties. Eastern European countries are supporting Ukraine's just fight to prevent harmful policies by the Russian President Vladimir Putin, particularly to NATO members.
