Ukrainian forces started shelling at sunrise. At dawn, under the cover of their own artillery, soldiers advanced toward a Russian position on the outskirts of the embattled city of Bakhmut. The Wagner Group commander promised to deliver the city by May 9.
In the dawn haze, under the cover of their own artillery, small groups of Ukrainian soldiers advanced toward a Russian position on the outskirts of the embattled city of Bakhmut.Drone footage had identified an avenue of attack on Russian lines on the outskirts of the besieged city.
The battle lasted for 12 grueling hours, but by sundown, the troops from Wagner Group broke and fled, leaving five dead behind. Two days later, after withstanding Russian artillery counterattack on the newly seized position, the Ukrainians advanced again — moving through farmland in three columns of tanks and American-made armored personnel carriers. Once within earshot of the enemy, they spent hours negotiating with dozens of Russian soldiers, urging them to surrender.“We were screaming at them, ‘Surrender you fools, you morons!’” Rollo said.
“We were knocking out Russian positions and connecting our liberated areas,” said Slip, 32, commander of the brigade’s second assault battalion. After some Russian troops were killed, others became “demoralized and some of them also just ran away,” he said. Neither commander would disclose their own casualties.
