Ukraine: Russians do not control the “road of life” in Bakhmut

In fact, everything is completely different, ”said Serhiy Tserevaty, a representative of the Eastern Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to the zn.ua website.

According to him, although the fighting is being fought over the road connecting the village of Chasov Yar with Bakhmut, Russian forces have not been able to cut off the supply of Ukrainian units to Bakhmut. The delivery of supplies, weapons and ammunition is proceeding safely, he said, adding that Ukrainian forces hold positions on the road while an army engineer builds new roads. “All of this allows us to continue to hold Bahamut,” he said.

Russian sources claim that more than 90% of Bahamut is in their hands.
