“Ukraine advanced 2.6 kilometers into Russian-held areas near Bakhmut along a 3-km (2 mile) stretch of front line, according to Andriy Biletskyi, a commander of the brigade that stormed Russian positions.
The area is now liberated, with many Russians killed and captured and military equipment destroyed, he said, in comments that were impossible to immediately confirm.
Ukraine’s General Staff declined to comment on the report. It came a day after Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, said a Russian army unit fled its position in Bakhmut, exposing part of the front line and ceding territory that 500 of his fighters had died taking.”

“”All against all...complete disunity of the front” - Russian volunteer Anastasiya Kashevarova explains what happened between Wagner and the 72nd Brigade in Bakhmut in a long Telegram post. She says Russian Forces are not allowed to communicate with Wagner. Wagner was forced to retreat in one area as Ukrainians exploited weakness and broke through. She says the 72nd had no idea and no troops in the area to cover. She also says Russian sides all hate each other, making fun of each other. She calls for unity or the war will not be won.”
