The Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported that the fighting in Bakhmut is now continuing in the center of the city.
This was stated by Yan Gagin, adviser to the deputy head of the Russian-speaking province, on the air of Rossiya 1 TV channel.
"The initiative is now in the hands of our fighters, our troops have long entered from the northern side of Bahamut. Now they are already fighting almost in the center of the city," he said.
According to Gagin, the surrender of the city by the Ukrainian units is a matter of time and will happen "very soon".
"The Armed Forces of Ukraine simply no longer have the strength for serious counter-attacks," the Russian adviser stressed.
On Friday, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk called on the residents of Bakhmut to leave the city as soon as possible.
The press secretary of the eastern group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Serhiy Cherevaty, announced the restriction of access to the city for civilians.
In the direction of Kupyansk, massive artillery fire and the attacks of units of the troop group "West" caused the repulsion of the Ukrainian forces, the Russian Ministry of Defense emphasizes.
In the direction of Donetsk, the Russian offensive operations of special Russian detachments continue with the support of units of the Airborne Forces, the Russian Air Force and flamethrower systems of the Southern Group of Forces.
"Daily losses of the Ukrainians in this direction amounted to 250 soldiers killed and wounded, five armored fighting vehicles, six vehicles and one D-20 howitzer," concluded the Russian Ministry of Defense.
But the essence remains and Bahamut and the surrounding areas have turned into a normal "slaughterhouse" of people, with no light on the horizon of a fierce and merciless war that has no end.
