The battle on the ground at Bakhmut, on the Eastern front, is getting tougher. In the videos on Ukrainian social media the increasingly ghostly landscape, the houses pierced by artillery shells and bullets, the streets seem uninhabited. In the videos of the soldiers of Kiev appears a soldier, who lives holed up in a tunnel in the rubble of a basement of a building.

Contrasting, the versions on the balance in the city between Russian and Ukrainian forces. According to a soldier of the mercenary group Wagner "Our fighters have to travel about a kilometer and a half of urban area to liberate Bakhmut (in Russian Artemovsk)," he said in his statement to the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti. "The front line is getting closer and closer (on the western outskirts of the city)."

Wagner added that his unit managed to storm a block with residential buildings behind the railway, which divides the city into two parts. The palaces are located on a hill from which the Ukrainian army monitored and corrected fire on Wagner assault groups. So far, Kiev militants control the building of the medical institute, located at the highest western point of Bakhmut, he said.
