Ukrainian troops deny Russian seizure of Bakhmut
Fighting for the administration building in the city continues.
This was reported by Serhiy Cherevatyy, a representative of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, in a commentary to Reuters.
As of today, the fighting around the administrative building of the Bakhmut city council continues.
Bakhmut is Ukrainian, and they (Russians-editor) have not seized anything and are very far from doing so, to put it mildly.
Earlier, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner PMC, said that the town had been "legally" seized by the occupants.
They hoisted a flag over some toilet. They attached it to the side of some unknown thing, hung their rag on it and said they had seized the city. Fine, let them think they have taken it," Cherevaty commented on the video.
