The British defense ministry on Saturday said there are indications that a Russian private military contractor, Wagner Group, has begun withdrawing its troops from some of their positions in the vicinity of the Donbass town of Bakhmut, APA reports citing Teletrader.

This development has been confirmed by the Ukrainian deputy defense minister, who also mentioned the rotation of Wagner forces out of the outskirts of the town, according to the ministry. "The rotation of Wagner forces is expected to continue in a controlled manner to avoid the collapse of pockets around Bakhmut," the ministry claimed.
