Ukraine calls up reinforcements as the Russian army and Wagner Group forces make advances into Bakhmut’s northern suburbs, UK intelligence says.
Ukraine is reinforcing the bloodsoaked city of Bakhmut with elite units as Russian forces make further advances, the UK Ministry of Defence said Saturday.
“Ukraine is reinforcing the area with elite units, and within the last 36 hours, two key bridges in Bakhmut have been destroyed, including a vital bridge connecting the city to the last main supply route from Bakhmut to the city of Chasiv Yar. Ukrainian-held resupply routes out of the town are increasingly limited,” the MoD said.
The Russian army and Wagner Group forces have been making advances into the city’s northern suburbs amid intense fighting, and Ukrainian forces are now vulnerable to Russian attacks from three sides, the department said in an intelligence update.
