Fighting around the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut remained "particularly hot", President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said, giving no indication the city had finally fallen to Russia as claimed by the founder of the Wagner mercenary force.
Yevgeny Prigozhin said his troops, involved in a months-long effort to encircle and capture the bombed-out city, had raised a Russian flag on its administrative building.
"Thank you to our soldiers who are fighting in Avdiivka, Maryinka, and Bakhmut," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address on Sunday. "Especially Bakhmut. It is especially hot there."

All the billions sent therea and they failed.
If we had an independent media we would know the truth, if only through satellite imagery.
Unfortunately, all we get is propaganda from both sides.
Good news is that for every Ukrainian athlete dead there are two dead Russian convicts.
Not particularly, we mostly just get Ukrainian propaganda. Yes, Russian propaganda exists, but it's not amplified by the Western mainstream media megaphone the way Ukrainian propaganda is.
You are right, it is quite lopsided.
Years ago I assumed technology would eliminate the lies in war and reporting in general. It has actually gotten far worse.
Satellite imagery and the mutually maintained (by both pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian internet sources) war maps are quite reliable.
None of them are from the MSM.
They tend to be lagged a couple of days before both sides mutually agree on a change.
You are quite wrong in this.
Lies in war reporting have not changed.
What you have much more of now is crowdsourced information from diverse sources.
Indeed - remember when the internet began, with all the hype about "all the information of the world at your fingertips?"
What a ridiculous statement.
People who disagree with you are not “all lying” nor are they all engaged in “propaganda”.
Even when that tiny town falls, which was expected months ago, it has become a major Russian setback.
They wanted to break through there long ago before Ukraine can counter attack.
They failed to do what? Hold a tiny town?
How ridiculous.
The first casualty of war is the truth. Unfortunately, we are only being fed Ukrainian propaganda in order to keep the tens of billions of dollars flowing and prolonging a proxy war.
Time to end the bloodshed, US financed and armed. It is a war of attrition and blood on our hands for encouraging it.
That’s a ridiculous argument. Gettysburg was a ‘tiny town’ also...
Amen.
Time to put a stop to this horrible and massive loss of life, livelihood and property all for a few power and money hungry narcissists.
This is the only war I can remember where we’re getting almost no video of the war. Seems like we should get some actual footage of the fighting.
The only thing we’ve gotten for $100+ billion is the video of Biden walking out with the fake siren going off.
Gettysburg was a draw.
