Quote from Cherevatyi: "The defence forces are holding the lines in Bakhmut; there is an opportunity to deliver ammunition, provisions, medicines, and take the wounded from there."

Details: When asked whether it is true that important military bridges for the Ukrainian army were blown up in the Bakhmut area, Cherevatyi said: "Yes, during military operations, the enemy hits our infrastructure, bridges and other areas. However, our units provide in different ways the ability to deliver everything you need."

He also emphasised that "no army in the world ever announces its tactical actions."

Background: On March 4, Serhii Cherevatyi said that Russia had not taken control of the city of Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast; there had been no mass withdrawal of Ukraine's troops.

Analysts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), having analysed the situation, came to the conclusion that Russian troops will not be able to encircle Bakhmut in the near future.
