Ukraine said on Sunday it still held a tiny part of Bachmut, which Russia has claimed full control. Russia on Saturday declared full control of the city, putting an end to the longest and bloodiest battle in the 15-month war.
Moscow congratulated the Wagner Special Military Group and Russian forces for "liberating" the city. US President Joe Biden stressed that Russia would "not break" the resolve of Ukraine's allies. But Ukrainian officials denied that account on Sunday, and a senior Ukrainian military commander said his country's forces controlled a "tiny" part of the town.
