Situation around Bakhmut becomes more difficult – UK intelligence

It was reported by the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter.

British intelligence stated that during the last week, Russia kept achieving small successes attempting to surround the city of Bakhmut, Donetsk region.

M03 and H32, the two main Bakhmut routes, are likely to be under the threat of direct fire. Earlier this week, Wagner mercenaries could have captured the road connecting Bakhmut with Siversk.

"While numerous alternative supply routes are available to Ukrainian forces, Bakhmut is becoming more isolated," British intelligence concluded.

• On February 4, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that the Russians are using all their forces to encircle Bakhmut.
