Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu visited the war-battered city of Mariupol in southern Ukraine, one year after his forces besieged the city, levelling it to the ground. Shoigu’s visit comes as Russia forces are closing in on Bakhmut, a city in eastern Ukraine that has become the stage of the longest-running battle of Russia’s intervention in Ukraine.
There is no doubt that the fight for Bakhmut is an ego battle and a political prize for whoever takes control of the crucial mining city. The latest report by the German newspaper Bild is proof of this perception amid the war.
According to Ukrainian officials quoted in the Bild report, an internal conflict exists between the Ukrainian president and Army Chief General Valery Zaluzhny. As per the report, the Ukrainian Army Chief wants to withdraw from Bakhmut, where the Russians are in a commanding position, but Volodymyr Zelensky is not ready.
