Ukraine remains in control of a key supply route into Bakhmut, a military spokesperson said on Saturday, as the head of Russia's mercenary Wagner Group threatened to withdraw some of his troops from the eastern city if Moscow did not send more ammunition.
Russian forces have been trying for 10 months to punch their way into the shattered remains of what was once a city of 70,000. Kyiv has pledged to defend Bakhmut, which Russia sees as a stepping stone to attacking other cities.
"For several weeks, the Russians have been talking about seizing the 'road of life,' as well as about constant fire control over it," Serhiy Cherevatyi, a spokesperson for Ukrainian troops in the east, said in an interview with local news website Dzerkalo Tyzhnia.
"Yes, it is really difficult there ... (but) the defence forces have not allowed the Russians to 'cut off' our logistics."
The "road of life" is a vital road between the ruined Bakhmut and the nearby town Chasiv Yar to the west - a distance of just over 17 km (10.56 miles).
Ukraine's top military command said in its daily update on Sunday that its forces had repelled 58 Russian attacks over the past day along the part of frontline stretching from Bakhmut through Avdiivka and on to Maryinka further south in the Donetsk region.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of Russia's Wagner Group, who has often claimed unverifiable successes, said that his forces have advanced some 100 to 150 metres (109 to 164 yards) in Bakhmut, leaving just under 3 square km of the city in Ukrainian hands.
But he said he lost 94 troops.

I haven’t made up anything. You just have no concept of tactics. Bakhmut is emptying Ukraine of men and weapons. It’s also draining nato.
Why is Prigozin complaining about no ammo if Russia prodigeously manufacturing it?
Et cum spiritu tuo.
I’ve never heard anyone say it was encircled. We can and could always plainly see that it wasn’t. Zelensky is a complete idiot, shovelling scores if not hundreds of thousands of guys over a worthless patch of nothing in the name of “winning” memes. and Putin is capitalizing on his stupidity.
Russia WILL take it. They are like ants and don’t care about casualties. Most of not all of Ukraine will end up Russian federation territory at the end of all this. Laugh it up about casualties a d the years it took. No one cares. Russia gains a huge chunk of territory at the end of this. Ukraine cannot and will not win. Winning was never in the cards for them.
Yeah, you are.
If I said I never had another handle would you believe me? Of course not.
You’re right there. Of course not. You reek of retread.
I pointed out the contradictory positions of the agression cheerleaders and you respond that you dont care about the propaganda. So why then did you even respond to me when I asked about it?
You didn’t comprehend correctly. I told you your pro-Uke propaganda is a waste of time. I have stated many times that the excessive propaganda, regardless of which side is pushing it, is cluttering and polluting this forum and has driven a lot of decent posters away from FR.
One side does appear to post a lot more propaganda, though. You have two posters who post daily threads, replying to themselves or their acolytes over and over again with more spam, links and assorted garbage to keep it clogging the feed.
Several of us believe that the Uke-Rus topic should be consolidated to one thread a day where all of the articles, links and discussion can occur, freeing up the forum for other topics as they’ve done with the Q threads. Then maybe some of the good posters who have left might come back.
How am I trolling? Is being pro-Ukrainian trolling? How so? And how is pointing out the inconsistensies of posters statements “pro-ukraine”?
No liar, I call out the specific constant lies and just plain made up stories in what you post.
You have an agenda and it is not an honest one.
Oh trust me posters here have been saying it was encircled many times. Perhaps someone here can dig one up.
Oremus
More names. That’s twice on this thread. What’s wrong with you?
There is no evidence of that on the battlefield. It's Ukraine that can't muster up enough ammo for a counteroffensive.
Truth. I find that on the 2 mainstream conservative news sites that I frequent, Liberty Daily and Citizen Free Press, you might find 2 to 3 articles per day on the conflict. Here you can find and be overloaded with postings on the subject.
I’ll have to check those two news sites you mentioned out.
I’m spending more time at a couple of other sites too - patriots.win and Truth Social. A lot of FReepers are there and it’s not infested with Ukazoid trolls.
Obviously we cant go to the battlefield and determine that for ourselves.
But when a leader of the enemy forces says publicly he has no ammo, what should we make of it?
“It’s Ukraine that can’t muster up enough ammo for a counteroffensive.”
Can you give any evidence of that?
“Liberty Daily and Citizen Free Press, you might find 2 to 3 articles per day on the conflict. Here you can find and be overloaded with postings on the subject.”
Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt it the administrators of those site who decide what to post?
If I am correct, As you know FR doesnt work that way.
Noticed your sign-up date. What was your last handle before you were banned or suspended, or are you one of the multiple accounts of the same tiny group of globalist warmongering spambots ?
You has a rotten stink of retread troll.
How so?
