Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin claims his forces are close to the centre of the frontline hotspot of Bakhmut. Prigozhin said the centre of the eastern Ukrainian city was just "one kilometre and two hundred metres away”. Zelensky’s aide claims Ukrainian forces are pinning down Russia's best units and degrading them ahead of a planned counter-offensive. Wagner Boss Yevgeny Prigozhin claims the mercenary group has opened new recruitment centres in 42 Russian cities.

Meanwhile, Russia has allegedly attacked a critical infrastructure in Zaporizhzhia on March 11, presumably using S-300 air defence missiles. Finland has ruled out the delivery of Hornet fighter jets to Ukraine until Helsinki receives F-35 jets from the US.
