The Wagner mercenary group has continued to advance in Bakhmut, but recent days have seen Ukrainian forces stabilizing the city's flanks, the UK Defense Ministry said on Tuesday in an intelligence update.
"As well as progress to the south of town, Ukrainian assaults have forced back the Russian frontline to the north-west of the town," said the UK Defense Ministry.
In the northwest, Ukrainian forces have managed to secure the use of a supply road, the UK said.
