Moscow on Sunday claimed that its forces took control of four more urban quarters in the frontline Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.
The Russian Defense Ministry said units of the Airborne Forces pinned down Ukrainian forces in the northern and southern outskirts of the city.
Ukraine did not immediately respond to the claims.
Russian forces have been trying for months to capture Bakhmut, a transport and logistics hub in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, which is part of the largely Russian-speaking industrialized Donbas region.
