Russians forcibly deport Bakhmut suburbs residents 

This is reported by the Center of National Resistance.

"Wagner PMC mercenaries are deporting residents of the Bakhmut suburb. Militants take local residents to captured areas of Luhansk region by force; they are filtered there. After that, they are deported to Perm and other remote areas of the Russian Federation," the message reads.

• Military expert Ivan Kyrychevskyi noted that Ukraine’s Armed Forces destroyed a number of Russians near Bakhmut that would be enough for a repeated offensive operation on Kyiv. That  is about 50 thousand people and 200 tanks.
