Wagner PMC founder Yevgeny Prigozhin said the situation in Bakhmut was "very difficult" while noting that the Ukrainian military had access to "infinite reserves".
"The situation in Bakhmut is difficult, very difficult, the enemy is fighting for every meter. And the closer we get to the city center, the more intense the fighting becomes, the more artillery and tanks are used against us.
The Ukrainians deliver endless supplies. But we are moving forward and will move forward and will not shame the glory of Russian weapons," he said, according to the TASS report.
There are intense struggles for supremacy in the city. According to recent reports, Russian forces have managed to take control of or block all paved roads leading into the city.
Meanwhile, the start of the spring rainy season has made supplying the Ukrainian army with fresh troops and ammunition a difficult logistical task. In a statement released over the weekend, Prigozhin said his troops are now just 1.2 kilometers from the city's administrative center.
