Kyiv pledges to defend Bakhmut, which Russia sees as a stepping stone to attacking other cities.
Ukraine remains in control of a key supply route into Bakhmut, but the situation remains “really difficult” in the besieged eastern city, a Ukrainian military spokesman said on Saturday, April 29.
“For several weeks, the Russians have been talking about seizing the ‘road of life,’ as well as about constant fire control over it,” Serhiy Cherevatyi, a spokesperson for Ukrainian troops in the east, said in an interview with local news website Dzerkalo Tyzhnia. The “road of life” is a vital road between the ruined Bakhmut and the nearby town Chasiv Yar to the west – a distance of just over 17 km.
