A soldier of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army prepares ammunition to fire at Russian front line positions near Bakhmut, Donetsk region, on March 11, 2023, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. AFPPIX: Fierce fighting was raging Monday for control of the centre of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, the bloodiest battle of Moscow's invasion, as Russia agreed to a short extension of a crucial UN-backed grain export deal.
Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin acknowledged that his forces were coming up against determined resistance as they sought to wrest control of the city’s centre in a “very difficult” situation.The capture of the city would provide the Kremlin with a military win to sell to its domestic audience. In meetings with the UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths, among others, Vershinin agreed a 60-day extension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which has helped soothe the global food crunch triggered by the conflict.
But Moscow only agreed to a shorter extension of the deal Monday, saying it needed to see “tangible progress” on a parallel agreement on unhindered Russian food and fertiliser exports. The soldier, Oleksandr Matsievsky, was videoed apparently being gunned down by Russian forces for saying “Glory to Ukraine”, in a video that went viral.
Finland's prime minister said Monday that she was open to discussing giving fighter jets to Ukraine, despite facing criticism at home.
