A fierce battle is taking place in Bakhmut, a city in Donetsk region in southeastern Ukraine.

Bahmut is a key stronghold in eastern Donbass, so the war may change depending on who occupies it.

Ukrainian President Zelensky said Russia was struggling to add more and more troops around Bakhmut.

In addition, the Wall Street Journal reported that Russia was reorganizing its military by adding additional troops secured by the mobilization of reserves to the eastern front and preparing for simultaneous attacks on five Ukrainian sites.

Meanwhile, Ukraine said on the 5th local time that it would not attack the Russian mainland with weapons received from Western countries.
