Russian forces have made gains as Ukrainian media reports withdrawals in the bloodiest battle of this war

reported: “The enemy has captured the eastern part of the city up to the Bakhmutka River…The fight is for the remaining supply route. This route is under enemy fire. The enemy is pushing our troops to leave Bakhmut, as there is a real threat of encirclement.”

Ukraine’s defence ministry gave a terse account of the situation on Monday, stating only that “the enemy continues to try to storm … Bakhmut and surrounding settlements.” “Last week, operational encirclement of Bakhmut was formalised,” he wrote. “The enemy was left with only one supply road, and that one is under fire control. So Kyiv has begun to withdraw its units.”Yevgeny Progozhin
