A Russian-installed official in eastern Ukraine denied the reports.Ukraine has said its forces have had “partial success” in the Klishchiivka area.
Ukrainian military analyst Oleskandr Musiyenko said securing Klishchiivka was “important as it would lead to the liberation of Bakhmut itself. “On the one hand, they control the major part of the city and we control only the southwest. But they cannot move about the city. Our forces won’t let them and in practical terms they can’t leave. Our troops won’t allow that.”
