Bakhmut, whose symbolic importance outstripped its military significance as the battle dragged on, has been largely reduced to rubble. The founder of Russia's Wagner mercenary force said his troops now tightening their grip on the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut were being deprived of ammunition and if they were forced to retreat the entire front would collapse.
The footage was published on a Telegram channel that has been disseminating Prigozhin news and has associated itself with the Wagner Group. "I would like to pay special tribute to the bravery, strength and resilience of the soldiers fighting in the Donbas," Zelenskyy said.Ukraine's troops, said Zelenskyy, had "repelled assaults, destroyed the occupier, undermined enemy positions and logistics, and protected our borders and cities".
"We all agree that there must be no arms deliveries and the Chinese government has also announced that it will not deliver any. That's what we demand and that's what we observe," Scholz told a press conference with von der Leyen in the east German town of Meseberg.
