"The enemy threw into the battle Wagner's additional forces. Our soldiers are courageously defending their positions in the north of Bakhmut, trying to prevent encirclement," the commander noted.

Intense fighting has continued in and around the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. Ukrainian forces still control the city despite the street fighting.

The effort to repel the onslaught on this bridgehead has been going on for several months, and throughout this time, all attempts by the invasion forces to seize the city have been thwarted.

“Our defenders inflicted significant losses on the enemy, destroying a large amount of equipment, forcing Wagner's best assault units into battle, and shrinking the enemy's offensive potential," the colonel-general emphasized.
