Video posted by the Russian Wagner-linked Telegram “Grey zone” shows Russian forces maneuvering through East Bakhmut.

This footage is reportedly from a Russian who goes by the telegram handle @brussinf who apparently is with Wagner forces. If there are any Russian speakers who can translate what is being said throughout the video, it would be appreciated to let us know what he is saying in the comments. Throughout the video we are shown the destructive toll that the war has brought to the city as well as distant gunfire and explosions in the background. As of 3/8/2023; it has been reported that Ukrainian forces have fully withdrawn from the East side of the Bakhmutka River.
