[HIGHLIGHTS] Lieutenant Colonel on Bachmut: "The intensity can be resumed"

Bachmut remains the center of the fiercest fighting in the war in Ukraine. Lieutenant Colonel Johan Huovinen says that the town has no strategic significance.

A loss in the city would have no impact on a possible spring offensive, he says. The city is strategically important for the entire southern Donetsk Oblast, all the way down to Mariupol, according to Huov Finnish. In addition to Bachmut, in recent months fierce fighting has been going on in Marinka and Avdiivka. The latter would be most devastating for the Ukrainian side.
