As the Russians stepped up their assault to encircle the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, a commander of the Ukrainian forces said that the situation is extremely tense as the conflict entered year two.
As reported by Reuters, Russia is trying to cut the Ukrainian defenders’ supply lines to the city which has seen some of the war’s toughest fighting and force them to surrender or withdraw. The siege of Bakhmut is crucial to Moscow as it would give them the first major victory in more than half a year and pave the way to capture the last remaining urban centres in the Donetsk region.
“Despite significant losses, the enemy threw in the most prepared assault units of Wagner, who are trying to break through the defences of our troops and surround the city,” said Ukraine’s Colonel general Oleksandr Syrskyi as quoted by Reuters.
Ukraine President Zelensky also said that the situation in Bakhmut was getting “more and more difficult”.
The enemy is constantly destroying everything that can be used to protect our positions,” Zelensky said as quoted by BBC.
One year on, thousands of Ukrainian civilians are dead, countless buildings have been reduced to rubble, and tens of thousands of troops on both sides have been killed or seriously wounded. Beyond Ukraine’s borders, the invasion shattered European security, reshaped international relations, and frayed a tightly woven global economy.
The conflict has not only put the stability of Europe in danger, but it also impacted global food and energy security, including in the Middle East and Africa, causing shockwaves in a world still reeling from the Covid pandemic.
