Ukrainian Troops Determined to Reclaim Bakhmut Despite Challenges

Ukrainian troops are determined to retake the city of Bakhmut, which was captured by Russian forces in May. After successfully recapturing two villages near Bakhmut, Ukrainian soldiers encountered fierce resistance from Russian defenders. President Zelenskiy has vowed to retake the city, but soldiers on the ground acknowledge that it won't be an easy task. The battle for Bakhmut is seen as pivotal due to the concentration of Russian troops there, although the city itself has limited strategic value. Ukrainian soldiers described a bloody and challenging fight, with casualties and injuries, as they advanced through the woods towards the city.
