A Ukrainian soldier opened fire on Russian positions outside Bakhmut in November.

Over the past five months, more than 20,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in fighting in Bakhmut, Ukraine, the White House said.

Another 80,000 people were injured, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said, citing newly declassified intelligence.

The U.S. said half of the dead were from Wagner’s private mercenary company. The army has been fighting in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.

Russia has been trying to capture Bakhmut since last year in a bitter war of attrition.
