Yellow on Bakhmut’s fate. The city in eastern Ukraine has been at the center of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine for months. The Russians announce that they have taken the city, Zelensky does not confirm, but admits that now everything is destroyed and that “Bakhmut is only in our hearts.” Volodymyr Zelensky did not confirm Bakhmut’s downfall. The Ukrainian president’s spokesman said as much, specifying Zelensky’s statements that appeared to have confirmed Moscow’s assertions. “The president has denied that Bakhmut has fallen,” Sergiy Nykyforov told CNN, explaining that when Zelensky said “I don’t think so” in response to questions from journalists ahead of the interview with Joe Biden, he was referring to Russian statements about the city’s fall. . . “There’s nothing left, they destroyed everything, there are no more buildings, it’s a tragedy, but today Bakhmut is only in our hearts,” Zelensky said again, thanking Bakhmut’s Ukrainian “defenders”, saying that “we appreciate them for their incredible work .”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s statements were allegedly “misinterpreted”. The clarification comes with a Facebook post by Zelensky spokesman Sergii Nykyforov. «Question from the journalist: The Russians say they have taken Bakhmut. President’s Response: I don’t think so. Then the president denied taking Bakhmut,” wrote Nykyforov.
