"The situation there is difficult and painful. The occupiers are deploying all resources available to them — and these are considerable resources - to make some sort of advance."

The regional governor Serhiy Haidai said Russian fighters had been forced to retreat under intense pressure from Ukrainians.

Writing on Telegram he said: “The Russians understand that if they lose Kreminna, their entire line of defence will fall,”

“The Russian occupation troops managed to build a very powerful defence in a month, even a little more. They are bringing there a huge amount of reserves and equipment. They are constantly renewing their forces.”

Earlier this week Russia announced it would ban oil sales to countries that abide by a price cap imposed this month by the West, while its forces were involved in heavy fighting around the bombed-out ghost town of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine.
