Ukrainian and Russian soldiers are fighting on the streets of Bakhmut, but the city hasn't been taken by Russia just yet according to the city's deputy mayor, Oleksandr Marchenko.

He told the BBC that the city is almost destroyed, with not a single building untouched as a result of the conflict.

Russian troops - from Wagner and regular Russian forces - are believed to have the city surrounded, but thousands of its troops are reported to have died during the offensive.
