Drone footage showed residential building hit with intense artillery fire in Bakhmut, as both Kyiv and Moscow claimed to have made new advances in the city at the center of fighting in eastern Ukraine
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy mentioned sustained Russian shelling in several regions, saying in a video address that these attacks showed the need to place further international pressure on Moscow.
He said he saw no sign Russian forces were short of ammunition, contradicting statements by Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner mercenary group spearheading the Bakhmut assault. Ukrainian officials have signalled the advances around Bakhmut are not part of a broader counteroffensive planned by Kyiv to push back the Russian forces.
