On Thursday, Putin’s press spokesperson conceded that Russia’s months-long attempt to seize Bakhmut had not yet worked. He noted: “They still have a lot in their warehouses, but we already see that they’ve reduced shelling per day in some areas.” He described the incident as “very, very artificial” and said it had failed to convince the Russian public and “their own propagandists”.Īfter a retreat by Russian forces near the eastern city of Bakhmut, Zelenskiy said Moscow was beginning to experience armament shortages on the battlefield. He also dismissed Russian claims that Ukrainian operatives carried out a drone attack on the Kremlin last week. Why should any country of the world give Putin its territory?” They can’t pressure Ukraine into surrendering territories. He stressed: “Everyone will have an idea. Zelenskiy said Ukraine was not prepared to cede any land for “peace”. They are increasingly concerned that if the counter-offensive makes only modest territorial gains, Ukraine’s western partners will put pressure on Kyiv to accept an unfavourable peace deal with Moscow. They include artillery systems with a range of 190 miles (300km), capable of hitting Russian ammunition stores and command centres. Ukrainian commanders have said Kyiv still lacks vital weapons needed for a large-scale campaign to succeed.
