Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander of the AFU’s Ground Forces, visited the front line on the Bakhmut axis. “The most intense phase of fighting for Bakhmut continues. The situation is steadily difficult. The enemy suffers significant losses in manpower, weapons and military equipment, but continues the assault,” Syrskyi reported.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner PMC, said that “the [Russian] Ministry of Defense has taken over the security on the flanks” of the group besieging Bakhmut. The positions around the town are currently manned mostly by mercenaries from the PMC.
