Thousands of Russian troops could be snared in the “mousetrap” Ukrainian city of Bakhmut after claiming they have overrun it after nine months of fighting.
Kyiv sources claim more than 100,000 soldiers have been killed battling for Bakhmut and that Ukraine ’s soldiers will encircle them in the coming weeks.
One Kyiv MP said: “They will be caught in a mousetrap,” as Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said some of his troops were still holding out in Bakhmut.
