Russia has deployed a new military formation of about 15,000 soldiers to fight around Bakhmut.
Ukraine's spy chief, Kyrylo Budanov, said the 25th Army was deployed earlier than planned.
Budanov said Ukraine is pinning down Putin's forces near Bakhmut to prevent redeployment to the south.
Ukraine is pinning down a newly created Russian reserve force near Bakhmut and is confident the 15,000-strong unit will be destroyed, Ukraine's spy chief says.
Kyrylo Budanov told The War Zone that Ukraine was pinning down Russian forces in Bakhmut to prevent them from being deployed to other axes where its counteroffensive is pushing forward.
"The Russians recently redeployed their only reserve force - the 25th Army - which was just recently raised and hasn't completed its creation," he said.
"Now it's redeployed to roughly the north of Bakhmut, and that's the place where it's going to be buried."

Suspended and being investigated, they say. Never to be heard from again.
The clowns in Kiev thought it would be a nice PR act to show their Beltway DC globohomo masters, but probably saw it wasn't playing well in Peoria.
Now its full of globohomo neocon trolls and AI bots.
That’s a good policy. Did you see that the Washington Post poll that has Trump up ten points over Biden? Yes, that’s what I want to hear and I believe it. It’s the Washington Post, the finest newspaper in America. They never lie. /s
Buttin'Off weighs in.
These guys aren’t at Stalingrad. And the Wehrmacht was surrounded, not pinned down. There is a specific meaning to being “pinned down”.:Military terms and tactics are way above your head, obviously. You should get out more. There’s a nice tea shop down the street from your cubicle at the defense bureau there nearby you in Kyiv.
Could you get any more middle-schoolish with your comments.
I only believe headlines that are verified by at least 3 other outlets. I don't trust the media no matter what they say - whether I want to believe it or not.
Putin’s Poofters immediately post hysterically irrelevant snark.
If Putin were to lose 15K troops I wouldn’t shed a tear but these Ukie sources make the Imperial Japanese Navy look like paragons of truth in their after action reports.
Correction: America, under Obama, started this war in 2014.
...this report brought to you by Ukraine Jane.
America attacked Russia in 2014?
Git on with it!
This used to be an American site. Now we have Russians such as yourself stinking it up with vodka breath and borscht farts.
Go back to the Motherland and kill a Uke for Putin.

SCORE! But it is the ubiquitous Russian cabbage dishes that really produce the anal sulfur emissions. I hear that the old fart Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu (born 21 May 1955) is the worst offender.
Sure, if the Ukraine Spy says so.
Complete dis-information.
“There is a specific meaning to being “pinned down”.:Military terms and tactics are way above your head, obviously. You should get out more. There’s a nice tea shop down the street from your cubicle at the defense bureau there nearby you in Kyiv.”
You’re assuming that the bonehead journalist who wrote the article know the difference between “pinned down” and surrounded. Like “magazine” and “clip, “automatic” and semiautomatic,” etc.
