He noted that the city was subject to shelling by artillery guns, mortars, and drones: adding that claims that Ukrainian forces have retained a presence in Bakhmut were false. 

"There is not a single Ukrainian criminal there, not a single Ukrainian serviceman. The city is completely under the control of the Russian Federation," Pushilin said.
