The Russian army managed to break into the territory of the town of Hammot, which its forces have been trying to occupy for eight months, the "Wagner" mercenary company announced today (Sunday).
According to the claims of the company's owner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the organization's mercenaries have managed to infiltrate the northern part of the city and are conducting street battles against the forces of the Ukrainian army.
"Fierce battles are being fought, in every street, in every house and on every staircase," Prigozhin wrote in the company's Telegram group.
The Ukrainian army is in fierce fighting around the town of Hamut in eastern Ukraine
British intelligence sources announced today that the Russian army will cut off the main roads leading to Behemoth, after they succeeded in advancing from the south and north of the city.
The Russian army has been making significant gains around Tahar since last month it captured the town of Solidar, which is located north of Behemoth.
Ukraine has yet to officially respond to the news, but videos in which Ukrainian soldiers are seen fighting in a built-up area indicate that a Russian break-in of the city square did indeed take place.
In addition, video clips circulated online show forces of the Ukrainian army retreating from Sukh to the town.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, said in a short message to the media that "the situation in the east of the country is very difficult and the Russian army is pouring more and more troops into the region."
Meanwhile, three civilians were killed when two Russian missiles hit a residential neighborhood in the northern city of Kharkiv.
