Ukraine vows to fight on in Bakhmut and inflict steep losses on Russia; China defends ties to Moscow
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia in the Bakhmut region continues to escalate, with Ukraine vowing to fight on and inflict steep losses on Russia. The Bakhmut region is located in eastern Ukraine, near the border with Russia, and has been the site of intense fighting between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists since 2014.
The Ukrainian government has accused Russia of providing military support to the separatists, including weapons and troops. Ukraine has repeatedly called on Russia to withdraw its support and respect Ukraine's territorial integrity, but Russia has denied any involvement in the conflict.
Despite the ongoing violence, Ukraine has vowed to continue fighting in Bakhmut and elsewhere until it regains control of its territory. Ukrainian officials have also warned that they are prepared to inflict steep losses on Russia and its proxies in the region.
Meanwhile, China has defended its ties to Moscow, despite international criticism of Russia's actions in Ukraine. China has close economic and strategic ties with Russia, including a partnership on the Belt and Road Initiative, a massive infrastructure project that aims to connect China with Europe and other parts of the world.
China has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine and has urged all parties to respect international law and the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity. However, China has stopped short of criticizing Russia directly and has refrained from taking any concrete steps to pressure Russia to change its behavior.
The conflict in Bakhmut and the wider region remains a major challenge for Ukraine and the international community. Despite efforts to resolve the conflict through diplomacy and negotiations, the violence has continued, with no clear end in sight.
