Russia has besieged the city of Bachmut.
The Russian army and the Wagner private security company mercenaries are on the verge of completely besieging the city of Bachmut on Friday, February 12th.
A complete retreat by Ukraine from this area could be Russia’s first significant victory in recent months. The battle in the Bachmut front, which lasted about six months, has been one of the deadliest battles during the Ukraine war.
The head of the Wagner private security company said that all communication routes to Bachmut have been cut off, and only one route for the Ukrainian soldiers to exit the city and its surroundings remains open.
