Forces aligned with the Russian mercenary Wagner Group have reportedly been playing a key role in the monthslong Bakhmut assault.
The head of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group admitted in a new interview that progress has been slow and grinding as his forces work to capture Bakhmut, an embattled city in eastern Ukraine.
In an interview published Tuesday by the Russian state media outlet Ria Novosti, Yevgeny Prigozhin said that there is a"fortress in every house" in Bakhmut. The fight to take each house can sometimes last for more than a day or even weeks, Prigozhin said."Today, in the morning, I took one house and broke through the defenses. And behind this house, there is still a new defense, and not just one," Prigozhin told Ria Novosti, according to an English translation of his comments.

Moscow says Ukrainian rocket strike kills 63 Russian troopsUkrainian forces fired rockets at a facility in the eastern Donetsk region where Russian soldiers were stationed, killing 63 of them, Russia’s defense ministry said Monday, in one of the deadliest attacks on the Kremlin’s forces since the war began more than 10 months ago. Ukrainian forces fired six rockets from a HIMARS launch system and two of them were shot down, a defense ministry statement said. The strike, using a U.S.-supplied precision weapon that has proven critical in enabling Ukrainian forces to hit key targets, delivered a new setback for Russia which in recent months has reeled from a Ukrainian counteroffensive.
