Bakhmut Battles: Ukraine Resists Russian Advance.
TL;DR Summary
Ukraine and Russia have disputed control over the city of Bakhmut, with Ukraine's military denying Russian entrepreneur Yevgeny Prigozhin's claim that his Wagner mercenary group had seized more than 80% of the city. Russia's Defence Ministry retorted that Wagner forces had captured three city blocks. The city has been a focal point of Moscow's bid to advance through eastern Ukraine, but its gains have been largely incremental over many months. Ukrainian forces have hung on for months in Bakhmut, where the fiercest fighting of Moscow's full-scale February 2022 invasion has killed thousands of soldiers.
