Zelenskyy: Intensity of fighting over Bakhmut "only increasing"

The battle for Bakhmut is the longest-running battle to date in the course of the Russian offensive, which lasted more than a year. According to analysts, the city is of little strategic importance - a revenue would therefore have primarily symbolic value for Moscow. According to Ukrainian sources, Moscow used the "best stormtroopers" of the Wagner mercenary group, which is considered particularly brutal, in the attacks on Bakhmut.
