Kyiv’s forces attempting partial encirclement of contested city, pushing from the north and south to threaten Russian forces within
The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think-tank, described the claimed Ukrainian gains as “tactically significant” and some Russian military bloggers appeared to confirm Ukraine’s progress.
The Ukrainian troops were reinforcing the positions they had taken and Russian forces were mounting strong resistance, he said. Throwing large numbers of troops into the fighting, spearheaded by forces from the private Wagner paramilitary, Moscow claimed a tentative victory in May after taking heavy losses in the efforts to take Bakhmut, with Ukrainian officials saying their tactics of defence had been designed to wear down Russian forces.
Since the decision by Washington to agree to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions – despite them being banned by a majority of countries – Ukraine has begun using the weapons more heavily against Russia’s defensive positions. That measure was part of long-standing policy to clean up the military and government departments to show Ukraine’s western supporters he was serious about tackling deep-rooted graft, measures that are a main element in the long process of securing European Union membership.A man makes the sign of the cross as he pays respect in front of 'The memory wall of fallen defenders of Ukraine in the Russian-Ukrainian war' in Kyiv on July 25th.
“I no longer want to see any such refusals,” he said. “No one wants to see that. Ukraine has no more time for that.” The Bill comes as Moscow seeks to replenish its forces on the frontline in Ukraine without resorting to another mobilisation – a step the Kremlin took last September which proved unpopular.
