It was reported on Aug. 15th by the Ukrainian military that it had repelled more than a dozen Russian offensives in eastern and northern Ukraine, including a further attempt to advance on key city of Donbas.
In a regular Facebook update, Ukrainian military staff said that Russian forces had attempted to pounce on Kramatorsk, one of the two main cities in the eastern Donetsk province, which is still under Ukrainian control but “they failed completely and chaotically retreated to their previous positions.”
In another message, the Ukrainian military said Russian troops had made an unsuccessful attack of Bakhmut, a strategic town in Donetsk.
The Donetsk region is one of two provinces in the Donbas, where Russia has deployed large number of troops and concentrated its offensive since its withdrawal from Kyiv.
