Ukraine has revealed its forces have killed scores of Russian Wagner mercenaries as they tried to withdraw from the embattled city of Bakhmut. Some 80 Wagner fighters were killed and a further 119 were wounded after Ukrainian troops attacked their positions as they retreated from the eastern city, a Ukrainian military spokesperson said. Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin announced last week his mercenary units are retreating from Bakhmut and being replaced by Russian paratroopers and motorised units after he admitted 20,000 of his troops had been killed in the battle for the city.
