VOA: Russia Investing Large Amount of Its Military Might in Ukraine’s Bakhmut
Russia is investing a large amount of its “over all military effort and firepower,” the British Defense Ministry said Saturday, along a “15km sector of entrenched front line around the Donetsk Oblast town of Bakhmut” in Ukraine.
“Russia has prioritized Bakhmut as its main offensive effort since early August 2022,” the ministry said in its daily update posted on Twitter. “The capture of the town would have limited operational value although it would potentially allow Russia to threaten the larger urban areas of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk,” according to the report.
However, the defense ministry said, “The campaign has been disproportionately costly” and “Bakhmut’s capture has become a symbolic, political objective for Russia.”

When the Ukrainian Prez wont sit and make a deal...the meat goes into the grinder. Ok to be the Prez I guess.. Make a deal Zelensky.
Chauvinism is a feature not a bug., ISW already wrote 3 weeks ago that Bakhmut may fall. Unless it results in a catastrophic breach in the line all it means its that WNU is having a very patriotic day.
Meanwhile the Russian are losing near Kreminna. But WNU only talks of Bakhmut.
If Bakhmut falls will there be progressive collapse?
If Kreminna alls will there be progressive collapse?
Don't ask WNU. All you will hear is chest thumping like silverback.
Ukraine does not listen to you but to the leaders of their nation and the people seem much in line with his position: you are here to steal our land and we will not give in to your invasion.
Hold on, who is in trouble here; Ukraine or Russia. Duh, it’s Russia. They might win a small tactical battle here but everything I read is that Russia has lost a lot, including Momentum and is bleeding men and resources.
