On Monday, the boss of the Wagner group claimed responsibility for the capture of a key building in the city of Bakhmout, at the epicenter of the fighting in eastern Ukraine. But during his daily press briefing the same day, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov did not report any Russian troop advances in Bakhmout, not even mentioning the name of this city.
The staff of the Ukrainian army, for its part, affirmed that the Russian assaults were repelled.
