According to Ukrainian deputy commander Volodymyr Nazarenko, the situation in Bakhmut, an eastern Ukrainian city, is "critical" with more Russian troops surrounding the city than there is ammunition to kill them.
Nazarenko added that fighting is ongoing "round the clock" as Russian forces relentlessly push to capture the city.
Ukrainian troops are trying to inflict as many losses on the enemy as possible, he said, adding there are more Russians than there is ammunition to destroy them.
The head of the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary organization, has also confirmed that Bakhmut is surrounded.
The city has been the site of some of the deadliest combat in the war, with Ukrainian and Russian forces experiencing high losses.
