The battle at Bakhmut has been the deadliest and most devastating since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, and analysts are comparing it to World War One due to mass destruction on both sides. Ukrainian ground forces commander claims that Russian troops have been doing “scorched earth” practices, destroying buildings, and firing continuously at defense positions with air strikes. Russia claims that it has got control over 75% of Bakhmut City.
Denis Pushilin, Moscow-installed regional leader, shared his video on Telegram showing his visit to a small mining city where recently Russia and Ukraine fought aggressively. In the footage, Pushilin is wearing body armor and can be seen in ruined areas, and explosion sounds are also audible in his background. He reported to the Russian channel Rossiya-24 and claimed he was sure that Moscow’s troops had control of more than 75% of Bakhmut City. Further, he said it was too early to talk about Kyiv’s yield on Bakhmut.
Moscow claims that the fall of Bakhmut will create possibilities for more attacks on Ukraine in the future. West and Kyiv claim that the destroyed city, which Russia claims 75% control had no importance to them. In the video from an unknown location, Pushilin showed the advanced assault of the Russian Wagner Group over Bakhmut.
