Volunteers are the euphemism used by the Russian army, the latter being the members of paramilitary groups, such as Wagner, fighters in Ukraine.

Moreover, the boss of Wagner, the sulphurous Evguéni Prigojine, had claimed the capture of the village by his men on Saturday, which kyiv had denied in the process.

As a reminder, the Russian army and Wagner have been trying since the summer to take Bakhmout, a city where 70,000 people lived before the conflict.

For several weeks, they have intensified their offensive to encircle the locality, taking the town of Soledar in January, at the cost of heavy losses, and the neighboring villages.
