Two of Vladimir Putin’s military commanders have been killed in eastern Ukraine, Russia’s military said, as it warned of a renewed effort by Kyiv’s forces to break through in the frontline city of Bakhmut.
With Moscow’s forces believed to have been forced to concede bitterly-fought gains in a haphazard retreat in the Donetsk city over recent days, Russia’s defence ministry announced that two of colonels were among the dead.
