UPDATE ON BAKHMUT
According to the daily report of the British intelligence services, “Russia’s offensive on the city of Bakhmout, in the Donbass region, is largely at a standstill”. “It is very likely above all the result of the extreme attrition of Russian forces,” the British said in a statement, stressing that kyiv had also “suffered heavy human losses”.
“STABILIZE” THE SITUATION AROUND BAKHMOUT
The Ukrainian army chief of staff said his troops had managed to “stabilize” the situation around Bakhmout, the epicenter for eight months of fighting against Russian forces in eastern Ukraine.
The “most difficult” situation on the front line is “around Bakhmout”, Valery Zaluzhny said late Friday evening, during a phone call with the British Chief of Defense Staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin. “Thanks to the tremendous efforts of the defense forces, we manage to stabilize the situation,” he wrote on Facebook.

“DEEPLY CONCERNED”
The UN accuses Russian and Ukrainian forces of committing summary executions of prisoners of war during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “We are deeply concerned by the summary execution of 25 Russian prisoners of war and persons hors de combat” as well as that of “15 Ukrainian prisoners of war”, declared Friday in Kiev Matilda Bogner, head of the monitoring mission of United Nations human rights in Ukraine.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, Kyiv and Moscow have accused each other of mistreating prisoners, constituting war crimes. Following the publication of the report, the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs denounced any attempt “to put the victim and the aggressor on the same level”, judging “unacceptable to impute responsibility to the victim of an aggression”.
