lackeys sickeningly described the capture, which has effectively destroyed the city and likely costs thousands of casualties on both sides, as a "liberation".forces could claim since the very early stages of the invasion.
He earlier said Russia has "destroyed everything" - similar to how it tried to take Mariupol but then got bogged down in a brutal siege that saw it level much of the city.Deputy defence minister Hanna Malyar claimed there is a "semi-encirclement" of Russian forces in Bakhmut, and that the invaders have lost "part of the dominant heights around the city".
Putin had earlier congratulated "Wagner assault detachments, as well as all servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces units, who provided them with the necessary support and flank protection, on the completion of the operation to liberate Artyomovsk".Putin notably name-checked Wagner first in that statement to Russian news agencies.
