A Ukrainian Army spokesman said on May 22 that Russian forces walked straight into a "trap" in Bakhmut, with Ukrainian troops advancing on the flanks of the town poised to encircle them. The comment came a day after Russia claimed to have captured Bakhmut -- a claim it has made repeatedly in recent weeks.
