Ukraine says Russia's Bakhmut assault losing steam, counter-attack coming 'soon'

Russia's attempts to capture Bakhmut is seen as one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the war

Ukrainian troops, on the defensive for four months, will launch a long-awaited counter-assault "very soon" now that Russia's huge winter offensive is losing steam without taking Bakhmut, Ukraine's top ground forces commander has said.

The remarks by Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi were the strongest indication yet from Kyiv that it is close to shifting tactics, having absorbed Russia's onslaught through a brutal winter.

Russia's Wagner mercenaries, trying to capture Bakhmut in what has become the longest and bloodiest battle of the war, "are losing considerable strength and are running out of steam", Mr Syrskyi said on the Telegram social media site.

"Very soon, we will take advantage of this opportunity, as we did in the past near Kyiv, Kharkiv, Balakliya and Kupiansk," he said, listing Ukrainian counteroffensives last year that proved turning points in the war, recapturing swathes of land.

Mr Syrskyi was one of the top commanders behind Ukraine's strategy last year that repelled Russia's assault on Kyiv and rolled back Moscow's forces through the second half of 2022.
