Bakhmut is Ukrainian and they have not captured anything, said spokesperson for eastern military
KYIV, (Reuters) - Ukraine said on Monday that Russian forces were "very far" from capturing the eastern town of Bakhmut and that fighting raged around the city administration building where the Wagner mercenary group claimed to have raised the Russian flag.
"Bakhmut is Ukrainian and they have not captured anything and are very far from doing that to put it mildly," Serhiy Cherevatiy, spokesperson for the eastern military command, told Reuters by telephone.
