Sergei Shoigu, the Russian Defence Minister, has visited Mariupol, the occupied Ukrainian city that was almost completely destroyed in a months-long siege by Russian forces.
It is rare for high-ranking Kremlin officials to visit occupied Ukrainian territory, and Gen Shoigu's visit, which was announced by the defence ministry on Monday, comes as Russian forces appear to be on the brink of victory in Bakhmut.
Ukraine's military said late on Sunday said Russian forces were attempting to advance on Bakhmut, shelling the city and nearby settlements of Ivanivske, Chasiv Yar, Kurdyumivka and Orikhovo-Vasylivka.
"The situation in Bakhmut can be described as critical," Ukrainian military analyst Oleh Zhdanov said in a video commentary.
But the founder of Russia's Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, says his troops urgently need more ammunition promised since February, the latest sign of tension between the Kremlin and the private militia chief, and Russia's front lines near Bakhmut could collapse.
