Ukraine has reported heavy fighting in the eastern region of Donetsk as its forces made gains near the devastated city of Bakhmut, which was captured by Russia last month, but Moscow said Kyiv’s forces had failed to advance anywhere on the front lines.
Serhiy Cherevaty, spokesperson for Ukraine’s east military command said on Saturday that Ukrainian forces had advanced 1.2km (0.75 miles) near Bakhmut over the past 24 hours.
