KYIV — The battle for Bakhmut, the Ukrainian city which Russia has spent months trying to capture, is “stabilizing”, said Ukraine’s commander-in-chief.Valerii Zaluzhnyi said Ukrainian troops’ “tremendous efforts” were holding back Russia.Earlier this month, Western officials estimated between 20,000 and 30,000 Russian troops had been killed or injured in Bakhmut since last summer.Moscow is eager for a victory after failing to make major recent gains.
