Update from Bakhmut Front: Russian forces continue to put pressure on the Ukrainian forces defending Bakhmut, with fighting reported in the North, different areas in the East and in the South.

DPA suspect that the continued pressure is a trap to draw more Ukrainian forces into the Bakhmut pocket, while the main push is to entrap the bulk of the Ukrainian forces in the city while the pincer encircle them.

What is confirm, is the Russian forces are currently pushing towards Ivanivske or the highway linking it to Bakhmut, in order to cut of the supply lines from Konstyantynivka.
