"The battle of Bakhmut continues to exhaust the forces of both sides," the British military intelligence reported in its daily report, "over the weekend, the Ukrainian military in the north of the city probably managed to stabilize the defensive line after the advances of the Russian forces."
The report's authors believe the Russians blew up the only central road bridge supplying the Ukrainian military. The American Institute for the Study of War concluded that the Ukrainians blew up the bridge to prevent further Russian advances.
As for the difficulties on the Russian side, the summary's authors recall the differences between Wagner and the Russian Ministry of Defense regarding the distribution of ammunition, which under their current tactics, is necessary for the advance of Russian forces.
