Russian proxy forces in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic in the Donbas region said they had taken control of Klishchiivka, a small settlement south of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. Germany’s foreign intelligence service, the BND, is reportedly alarmed by the losses the Ukrainian army is taking in Bakhmut.
It will be “very, very difficult” for Ukraine to “military eject” Russian forces from every inch of occupied territory this year, the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, Gen Mark Milley, said. Meanwhile, senior US officials have reportedly urged Ukraine to hold off on launching a major offensive against Russian forces until the latest supply of US weaponry is in place and training is provided.
Ukraine claims it has arrested seven Russian agents in Dnipro, who are accused of assisting missile attacks on the city.
The UK’s Ministry of Defence has said the Wagner mercenary group “almost certainly now commands up to 50,000 fighters in Ukraine and has become a key component of the Ukraine campaign”.
