Recent drone footage over Bakhmut shows a city in ruins with smoke billowing from one of the last remaining high-rise buildings.

Footage shot on Monday, the day after the head of the Wagner Group private military contractor said his troops had captured the ruined city, shows the extent of the devastation.

Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin also claimed Thursday that his forces have started pulling out of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine and were handing over control to the Russian military.

Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said Thursday that regular Russian troops had replaced Wagner units in the suburbs but that Wagner fighters remained inside the city. #Bakhmut #Ukraine #Russia #reels #videography #voanews
