(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 12 - "An active offensive phase of Ukrainian forces is underway in Bakhmut. The enemy is mostly on the defensive. And in a position of shock," one of the Ukrainian officers on the front, Major Maksym Zhorin, wrote on Telegram.
"The Russians must hold a heavy defense and their advance is out of the question for now. Right now dynamic events are taking place on the southern and northern flanks of Bakhmut, but we will not talk about the outcome yet," Zhorin said. "As for the "lack of ammunition" of Wagner or other Russian units...
I can assure you that they do not lack weapons," he added.
The Russian Defense Ministry denied reports that Ukrainian forces had broken through at various points along the front line and said the military situation was under control. The Guardian reports.
Moscow reacted after Russian military bloggers, writing on Telegram, reported Ukrainian progress north and south of the eastern city of Bakhmut, with some suggesting the start of a Kiev counteroffensive. (ANSA).
