Ukraine's defense forces are doing they can so that Russian invaders find themselves on the battlefield in a zugzwang situation.

Commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi said this in a Telegram post, Ukrinform reports.

"Zugzwang in chess is a situation where any move by a player leads to a worsening of his position. We are doing everything to put the enemy in such a situation in this war. The defense forces are working. We are proud of every soldier and commander," Syrskyi said.

On March 6, Syrskyi said that the battle of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region had reached a climax, with the invaders engaging additional forces of the Wagner private military company.
