The head of the mercenary Wagner Group that is leading the Russian offensive in Bakhmut claimed in a video published on Saturday that if his men were forced to withdraw, it could lead to the collapse of the entire Russian frontline. Thousands of people have been killed and injured in the battle for Bakhmut, and videos from the city in the past week show many buildings charred, collapsed or without windows. The few thousand civilians still there have been confined to living in basements for months with no running water, electricity or gas.
