ISW suggests what percentage of Bakhmut's territory Russia has captured

ISW reports.

The report says that the Wagner PMC forces have probably seized the AZOM industrial complex in the north of Bakhmut and continue to advance deeper into the city.

According to experts, Wagner is likely working to consolidate gains in northern and central Bakhmut to push towards the city center and expand its zone of control into western Bakhmut. 

ISW assesses that Russian forces have advanced into an additional five percent of Bakhmut in the last seven days and that they currently occupy roughly 65 percent of the city.

• According to British intelligence, Russia's attempts to capture Bakhmut have reached a deadlock due to heavy losses and depletion of Russian forces.
