no idea, but it doesn't really matter for the course of the war, if Russia has captured the last 3 streets of Bakhmut or not. Ukraine so far denies and usually Ukraine isn't talking too much bullshit when it comes to that. Had they lost Bakhmut, they might just not comment on it at all, but apart from some premature gibberish, Ukraine usually sticks to the facts ... that is mabye unless it comes down to aid /weapons they want

Wagner has claimed the same thing about 15 times already. Same as they would be evacuating May. 10 which they now say will be May. 25.

It doesn’t really matter anymore. It served its purpose. Furthermore, Bakhmut itself is more likely to be flanked.

Thx for the info. The last map updates from DeepStateMap show that the flanks are pressed in "above" and "below" Bakhmut and in the middle the Orcs took a few blocks more. So it looks like a "Pyrrhussieg" for the Orcs to me...
The city as a city has long ceased to be one, even before this news. I hope the ukrainians keep the momentum to push them backwards so that they cant enjoy their "victory".

A Polish reporter, who stays nearby, confirmed it. The Orcs are still pressed on the flanks, though.

might well be, but as I posted in february already, it will be the last town of any relevance Russia will ever take in Ukraine. No matter what weapons Ukraine receives or does not receive, Russia simply cannot move on on any front, they just lack the resources.
From a western standpoint outside of Ukraine, this war is done now, since there only will be Ukrainian progress until the country is liberated. For Ukraine of course it isn't done for, the question remaining is: at what human cost. Ukraine's focus should now be to reconquer the territory with as little losses as possible.
The question is not, if Ukraine will win this war, it never has been after the first wek of invasion. The question is when and at what cost. I guess they will plan accordingly.
As for Russia: The conquest of Bakhmut doesn't show their ability, but bein absolutely inept at strategic warfare. Even before this months long battle, it was evident, Russia will need as many resources as possible for building a serious defence. They lost a huge chunk of this potential in the conquest of a city, which will have to be handed back soon anyway. There is no way they can replace these losses and, mark my words, once Ukrainian offence starts, Russian positions will crumble quickly, whereever attacked. There won't be prolongued, static warfare.

Attack of 3 Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicles in the Zaporozhye direction. Footage of the attack of three Ukrainian BMP-1s in the Zaporozhye direction in January of this year has been published. The positions of the Russian reconnaissance group of the army special forces and marines of the 177th regiment of the Caspian flotilla were attacked. Three Ukrainian BMP-1s came close to the Russian positions and landed troops. As a result of the ensuing battle, after one of the BMPs was damaged, the Ukrainian units retreated. The details of the battle are unknown, according to the results of the battle, there are wounded on both sides.
A short episode of an oncoming tank battle has been published, a Russian T-80BVM tank, under the command of a fighter with the call sign Altai, with a Ukrainian tank, presumably T-64. Reportedly, a Ukrainian tank leaving the forest belt was attacked by a T-80BVM tank. The video shows part of the battle, where the T-80BVM tank fires a second time at a Ukrainian tank and undermines its ammunition load.
