It is not true. Our units continue fighting in Bakhmut,” Sergei Cherevaty, a spokesman for the Eastern Group of Forces, told Reuters.
Anna Malyar, Deputy Defense Minister, wrote on her social media:
Bakhmut has heavy fighting. The situation is critical. At the same time, our troops are holding the line in the Samolet area.
According to Malyar, today our defenders control certain industrial and infrastructure facilities in the area and the private sector.
On May 20, the owner of the Wagner PPK, through his press service, reported on the “complete capture” of Bakhmut by mercenaries.
According to Prigozhin, the last high-rise building in the southwest of the city, held by the UAF, came under the control of the VAT around noon on Saturday.
According to Prigozhin, from May 25, the Wagnerites will be taken out for rest and retraining.
