Kyiv rejects Wagner's claim of Bakhmut, NAACP issues Florida travel warning | The World This Weekend

Russia's defence ministry is claiming the Wagner Group has captured the city of Bakhmut, which has been the site of one of the longest and bloodiest battles of this war. But Ukraine is contesting that claim. And, in the U.S., one of the biggest American civil rights groups has issued a travel advisory for Florida, calling the state hostile to African Americans, people of colour and LGBTQ+ members.

These are just some of the top stories on the May 21, 2023 edition of The World This Weekend.
