According to analysts and Russian officials spoken to on Friday, Russian forces are trying to take over this city and are attacking it with lots of troops. Meanwhile Ukrainian defenders continue to fight them off and stop supplies from getting through. The U.K. Ministry of Defense said that Russia recently launched heavy attacks on Bakhmut, an eastern Ukraine city where a fight has been going on for the past 8 and a half months. Ukrainian soldiers are still in control of some western sections of the town even though Russian artillery fire has been especially intense in recent days. Until recently, a very bad private military company from Russia called the Wagner Group was leading the fight to take Bakhmut city. It took a long time and lots of people from both sides died because of it. Now, the normal Russian military is fighting there too. Military experts say if Russia captures Bakhmut, it would show that the Russian military is very powerful. The Russian Defence Ministry reported on Friday that there was an increase in fighting around western parts of Bakhmut. They also said that troops from Wagner and air forces are joining forces to try and take control of certain areas in the west of Bakhmut. Soldiers on the sides of a battlefield are helping other soldiers to fight their enemies, who are trying to bring supplies and additional troops into the city of Bakhmut. Bakhmut is located in a place called Donetsk province, and it belongs to Russia but is not currently under their control. If Russia wins back control of Bakhmut, they will also be able to gain control of the rest of Donetsk province. Ukrainian leaders are using this time to come up with a plan to fight back against the Russian forces. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is worried that if the Russians win the Bakhmut conflict, then Putin might get enough support to make Ukraine agree to a deal which wouldn’t be good for them. The Ukrainian president’s office reported that there was a lot of fighting in the Bakhmut area over the past day. The result was that two kindergartens and some houses were ruined. The city looks almost like an abandoned place now. British people in the military noticed that Russian soldiers are participating more and more in this battle. Soldiers belonging to Wagner group have forced their way through the middle part of the city. Meanwhile, soldiers that are part of the Russian army have taken over places in the northern and southern side of town. The British military also reports that Ukrainian defenders don’t have enough resources but they were still able to leave Bakhmut safely. Fighting happened in different places of the Donetsk region, like Bakhmut. Five people died because Russian missiles struck the city of Sloviansk on Friday, according to regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko. Three civilians passed away and nine others were injured between Thursday night and Friday morning.
