A senior Ukrainian military official said earlier this week that Russian forces had dropped back from some areas near Bakhmut after limited counter-attacks by Kyiv's forces around the eastern city.
"The individual declarations on Telegram about a 'breakthrough' on several points on the front line do not correspond to reality," the defence ministry said in a statement. Russia's defence ministry said it has repulsed several Ukrainian attacks in the course of the day, adding that the ongoing battle on Thursday evening occurred near Malynivka in the eastern Donetsk region and involved both air power and artillery.
