Russia has surrounded the city of Bakhmut
The Russian army and mercenaries from the private security company Wagner are on the verge of completely encircling the city of Bakhmut on Friday, March 3rd.
A complete withdrawal of Ukraine from this area could be Russia’s first significant victory in recent months. The battle on the Bakhmut front, which lasted about six months, has been one of the deadliest battles during the Ukraine war.
The head of the private security company Wagner said that all communication routes to Bakhmut have been cut off, and only one route remains open for Ukrainian soldiers to exit the city and its surroundings.
