Russian Military Forbidden To Retreat On Bakhmut Direction, Threatened With "Order 222" - Defense Intelligence

The commanders of units of the Russian occupation army in the Bakhmut direction in Donetsk region forbid their soldiers to retreat. They are threatened by "blocking units" located in the rear.

This is stated in the interception of the conversation of the occupiers, which was published by the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

According to available information, the occupiers tried to attack the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the outskirts of Bakhmut.

The enemy attacked the positions of the Armed Forces with barrel and rocket artillery. However, after retaliatory fire and the advance of the Ukrainian military, the occupiers began to voluntarily leave their firing positions.

In order to stop the escape of their soldiers, the commanders were forced to remind them of the prohibition of unauthorized leaving the positions.
