Heavy fighting continues in Bakhmut center 

He stated this on Espreso.

"The situation in Bakhmut is extremely difficult. Heavy fighting is taking place near Khromove as the enemy aims to block the highway, but they have been unsuccessful. The city is still supplied, and there is no encirclement from the enemy as some suggest. Although there is constant shelling and fire control, there is no complete logistical restriction. The center of the city is the site of heavy fighting, with the enemy coming from the Alley of Roses. The fiercest battle is around the railway tracks and the railway station, which our troops control with artillery," noted Pohorily.

Furthermore, DeepState observes Russian soldiers moving like cockroaches, and Ukrainian defenders are destroying the enemy. Pohorily stated that the plans of the Russian invaders for May have failed because they have not reached all of their planned strategic points. They have not taken Bakhmut, and they cannot approach Avdiivka.
