The Moscow-installed head of the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s Donetsk region, Denis Pushilin, said Russian troops control “more than 75 percent” of Bakhmut. Ukrainian ground forces commander Oleksandr Syrskyi said Russian troops in Bakhmut had switched to scorched earth tactics. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Russian airstrikes on Orthodox Palm Sunday, including one that killed a man and his daughter at their home in the city of Zaporizhzhia. Ukraine released 106 Russian prisoners of war in exchange for 100 Ukrainians, both countries said. The governor of the frontline city of Avdiivka, in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, said the city’s population had fallen to just 1,800 from 32,000 before the war.
