Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky points out that if Bakhmut falls into the hands of Russian forces, more cities will shortly fall afterward.
The eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut might fall into Russian hands in a few days, warned NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
His warning came after Russia’s Wagner group said they captured the eastern bank of Bakhmut, prompting EU ministers to discuss plans to improve Ukraine’s defense and send ammunition.
During the year-long war in Ukraine, the fighting around Bakhmut has been the longest and most intense so far.
