A video released on Ukrainian social media shot from inside a military vehicle, in the city of Bakhmut disputed for months between Russian forces and those of Kiev, shows only rubble and mud: the video was shot after the rain: the truck is struggling to pass, the city seems uninhabited.

The head of the Wagner militia, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced that his forces engaged in the battle for the eastern city are beginning to receive ammunition from Russia. Last week, Prigozhin accused Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and the General Staff of the lack of ammunition supplies in the past week, also complaining about an excessive rate of human losses in the bloody battle for possession of the Ukrainian city.
On May 10, the Wagner militia was supposed to be succeeded by Kadyrov's Chechen militia.

Now the situation seems to have changed: in an audio message released by his spokesman, Prigozhin said that he is beginning to receive ammunition and that his men are advancing. He added that Ukrainian troops still control "about 2.36 square kilometers" of Bakhmut territory.
