Russia suffered more than 500 killed and wounded in one day at Bakhmut, says Ukraine

KYIV - More than 500 Russian troops were killed or wounded in a recent 24-hour period during the battle for the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, a Ukrainian military spokesman said on Saturday.Both sides admit to significant losses and the exact numbers are difficult to verify.

Mr Serhiy Cherevaty, a military spokesman for forces in the east, said the Russians had launched 16 attacks over a 24-hour period, with 23 clashes taking place in Bakhmut. “Over the course of the fighting, 221 enemies were killed and 314 sustained injuries of various degrees,” he told the national parliament’s television channel.

It was not clear from Mr Cherevaty’s comments whether he was referring to casualties sustained on Friday or over the most recent 24-hour period.An aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday that Kyiv had decided to fight on in Bakhmut becauseMoscow says capturing Bakhmut would punch a hole in Ukrainian defences and be a step towards seizing all of the Donbas industrial region, a major target.
