A week after the Wagner militia uprising in Russia, fighting in Donbass, and especially in the Kramatorsk or Bachmout area, remains intense. Despite everything, Kiev claims some reconquests there.
The Ukrainian army wants to advance meter by meter in the direction of Bachmout. Footage from Ukraine’s National Border Guard Service shows ruins that Kyiv says house a Russian army camp that has been hit by multiple artillery strikes. According to the Ukrainians, three Russian soldiers were killed there, the others left the position. For the past 48 hours, Ukraine’s defense ministry has been talking of heavy fighting, a bitter battle east of Bachmout, an area captured by Wagner’s troops in May.
Slow progress
“In the direction of Bachmout, Ukrainian soldiers have taken the strategic initiative and are conducting offensive actions on a broad front,” said Oleksandr Shtupun, spokesman for the Ukrainian army. Slow progression, especially for a motorized infantry brigade hiding in the woods waiting a long time between shots to aim accurately. These men say they are the target of Russian retaliation, which shows no signs of collapsing and continues its attacks, particularly on Kramatorsk.
