As Russia Extends Gains in Bakhmut, NATO Warns City May Fall ‘in Coming Days’

News - Middle East: As Russian troops extend territorial gains in Bakhmut following months of intense fighting with Ukrainian troops, the NATO military alliance chief says the strategically important city could fall "in coming days."

 

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Russia's paramilitary Wagner Group, said on Wednesday that its troops had taken full control of the eastern part of Bakhmut.

He said that they now control all districts east of the Bakhmutka River that crosses the city in the eastern Donetsk region.

Prigozhin said that the capture of the strategic city would allow the Russian military to push deeper into the Donbas to make “the entire world shudder.”

The private military contractor group has spearheaded the Russian offensive in Bakhmut that has lasted six months. Russian artillery has been pounding the last routes out of Bakhmut while trying to complete the encirclement of the besieged city.

The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think-tank, said in its latest analysis that Russian forces have "likely captured the eastern part of Bakhmut, east of the Bakhmutka River, following a controlled Ukrainian withdrawal from eastern Bakhmut as of March 7.”

Meanwhile, on the sidelines of a meeting of EU defense ministers on Wednesday in the Swedish capital of Stockholm, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters that the town of strategic importance may fall into Russian hands.

"We cannot rule out that Bakhmut may eventually fall in the coming days,” he was quoted as saying.
