Russian troops continue to make small progress in encircling Bakhmut, in eastern Ukraine, which they have been trying to seize for months, the British Ministry of Defense said on Sunday.

The two main roads into the city in the eastern Donetsk region are now under direct threat from Russian artillery and another road is controlled by Wagner mercenaries, according to the same source.

Although “several alternative provincial routes remain available for the supply” of Ukrainian forces, “Bakhmut is increasingly cut off,” the Ministry of Defense summarized in London.

Moscow has labeled as propaganda the British ministry’s daily briefings on the progress of the war that broke out when Russian troops invaded Ukrainian territory on February 24, 2022.
