"We captured the entire eastern part of the besieged city of Bakhmut" in eastern Ukraine. The announcement of the Russian paramilitary group Wagner has arrived in these hours.

On the Kiev front, the military reported that it had repelled more than 100 enemy attacks in the Donetsk region in the last day. It can be read in the report of the general staff. Russian forces are instead concentrating their efforts on operations against Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Shakhtar.

And since last night the street lamps of Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine have been lit for the first time since the beginning of the war, the city's mayor said. “For more than a year, the only source of light in Kharkiv during the dark hours of the day has been mainly car headlights. During this period, there were many road accidents in which people were injured,” Ihor Terekhov wrote in Telegram, reports the Guardian, explaining that the lights in the city were turned on from 18 to 19.30.
