The battle for Bakhmut continues as Kiev says its troops are advancing in the war-ridden city that Moscow claims it captured over the weekend. Here is the latest situation on the 454th day of the Ukraine war
Satellite imagery released this week shows infrastructure, apartment blocks and iconic buildings reduced to rubble.
Ukrainian officials acknowledge they now control only a small part of Bakhmut on Monday. But, they also say their current positions in the areas surrounding Bakhmut will let them strike back inside the city. “This gives us the opportunity to enter the city in case of a change in the situation. And it will definitely happen.”
Holding a Russian flag before a group of at least nine masked fighters in body army who were toting heavy weapons, Prigozhin proclaimed: “This afternoon at 12:00, Bakhmut was completely taken.”
