“The enemy is right now on three sides trying to get to us,” Syrotyuk said, with some of the heaviest fighting striking the city’s south. Prigozhin’s claims, he said, amount to “boasting.” But their greatest challenge, he said, continues to be a lack of adequate ammunition. Ukrainian troops have pleaded for additional support from the West to push back the Russians from the city, which has become symbolic over the past months as the Ukrainians resisted ceding territory in the east.Syrotyuk, a grenade launcher operator who uses an American-made MK-19, said that they are rapidly running out of shells and other crucial supplies.
“The war was launched against us,” said Lavrov, prompting a burst of guffaws from an audience of academics, government officials, activists and businesspeople.
