Wagner Group's Bakhmut Withdrawal Threat Rescinded

Russia's Wagner mercenary group may keep up their assault on Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, despite earlier plans to withdraw, as they claim to have been promised more arms by Moscow. Missile attacks have been reported in various regions of Ukraine, including the Black Sea city of Odesa and the Mykolaiv region. Russian forces are evacuating residents from the town that serves the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and the head of the U.N.'s nuclear power watchdog has warned of a "potentially dangerous" situation. Ukraine is expected to launch a counteroffensive soon to retake territory.
