Video showing a Russian drone strike Ukrainian soldiers has gone viral. The graphic video shows the drone hit close to the two soldiers, sending both of them severely injured to the ground. One soldier seems to have lost his hand due to the explosion.
On 20 May, Yevgeny Prigozhin announced that the Wagner Group he owns had seized all of Bakhmut, and said his mercenaries would hand over their positions to regular Russian army troops by 25 May. The Russian defence ministry confirmed the report. On 21 May, the Kremlin reported that Vladimir Putin had congratulated the Wagner Group’s assault troops and all the soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces units who had given them the necessary support in taking the town.
