The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, noted that Bakhmut is Ukraine, and called for a calm response to the fakes of those who invent "victory" after the statement of the owner of the "Wagner group" Yevgeny Prigozhin about the Russian flag over Bakhmut's administration.
"Bakhmut is Ukraine. Calmly react to the fakes of those who invent a "victory", which in reality does not exist," Yermak wrote in Telegram.
The Ministry of Defense reported that the situation in Bakhmut remains very tense. The enemy is trying to engage not only the "Wagners", but also professional units of paratroopers.
