KYIV: Ukraine controls only a third of the embattled eastern city of Bakhmut, which has seen the longest battle of the Russian invasion, an advisor to Ukraine's presidency said on Thursday (Friday in Manila).

'Bakhmut is one-third controlled by Ukraine, as international observers have established,' Sergiy Leshchenko said in a briefing broadcast by the presidency's Telegram channel.
