Ukrainian forces have advanced by about 2 km around the eastern city of Bakhmut this week and have not given up any positions there in that time, Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said

"At the same time, the enemy gives false information about the lack of weapons, which probably aims to justify the real situation."
