One soldier said they were ‘trying to knock out’ the Russian mercenaries that stormed the complex Kyiv had hoped to make a stronghold
Russian mercenaries have stormed a sprawling metal works on the northern edge of Bakhmut that Ukrainian forces had hoped to turn into a stronghold.
In a video, a man claiming to be a Ukrainian soldier described a battle with Wagner fighters in the compound of the AZOM metal works. Explosions and gunfire can be heard as he speaks.
“The Russians entered the industrial complex, we are trying to knock them out. They have entrenched themselves at night. We are trying to storm their positions,” the unnamed soldier said.
BAKHMUT IS HELL
Not clear whose soldiers these are – but it seems clear that the town is a hellscape . pic.twitter.com/56FDktQH6J
