* US General Mark Milley said late last night that Russia was suffering major losses
* Hard fighting in and around Bakhmut has inflicted huge casualties on both sides
Russian forces are 'getting hammered' in the battle for the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut in fighting described as a 'slaughter-fest' by senior US officials.
Chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff General Mark Milley told lawmakers late last night: 'The Russians have not made any progress whatsoever in and around Bakhmut.
'It's a slaughter-fest for the Russians. They're getting hammered in the vicinity of Bakhmut and the Ukrainians have fought very very well.'

WNU Editor: The media narrative from the West continues to stay same. The battle for Bakhmut is going their way, and Russian forces are getting slaughtered .... Ukrainians in a Hidden Command Post See Bakhmut Going Their Way (DNYUZ/New York Times). But the problem with this narrative is that if the Russian forces are facing massive losses that would cripple any army, how come they continue to advance and seize more territory .... Ukraine controls a third of Bakhmut, says presidential adviser (Straits Times).

Miley can't be trusted. Telling the world that Ukraine is losing risks further US and NATO aid. I see no negotiated settlement so this war continues until one side is totally destroyed as a conventional army, ie no remaining fighting power. Either way the world is in for years of dangerous consequences. Thank you Democrats and our idiot Joe Biden and his national security team.
ReplyDeleteJust the fact they haven’t took it in 8 months and what’s happening to the Wagner group tells me all I need to know.
ReplyDeleteThey took half of it. Just a bunch of prisoners against the the full might of Ukrainian Army. Helps to put things into perspective sometimes
DeleteJust a bunch of prisoners 🤣, combined with rhe most elite that Russia has to offer , plus unrelenting artillery , armour and airstrijes..that's the perspective .
DeleteExactly, but the Russian bots will spin it into a victory . The Russians have zero chance of ever taking fortress Kiev
DeleteCounter battery fire is taking out Russian HQ along with the officers, air defense systems and artillery systems. Russia is screwed.
ReplyDeleteYou mean HIMRS which Russia really doesn’t have a match.
DeleteThey have an array of missiles with equal and far longer range. What are you talking about.
ReplyDeleteYou are arguing about peanuts. Bahkmut is just about over.
ReplyDeleteWhich army is in better shape? Do you really know ?
I do know one thing. The first hand reports I have seen come from Ukrainian forces in the field have been ugly. Guys with tears in thier eyes talking about most of their units being wiped out. The kids and young girls being shipped to the front . The constant complaints of ammo shortages, not just from The troops but from Zelinski.
So the Ukrainian side does not look like it is winning anything at this point.
The Russians? Wagner freely admits his casualties have been high. But the Russian army. Thier progress and casualty rates are clear as mud,
The best thing I saw was the BBC report, where they got thier information from funeral reports and family grieving posts off the internet.
But other than that, all things being equal... it is common sense that if you throw 1 shell at me and I shoot 20 in return, you are going to suffer more than I am.
Its been over for a few months. Now its about to slow down the Russians to Fully utilize the victory. What were witnessing now is the clean up. But these flakes here STILL insists on listening to CNN.
ReplyDeleteThere's a way bigger thing that has being developed for awhile southwest, Avdiivka, that's where I've been looking for a while. Seems like its going to be a new Bakhmut as well.
And for those fazmans here, the Ukies are losing people too. People they cant replace. Whats up?
The flake is Mr. 3rd Shift. Someone is the newby or they are the noob and not A or B team. mgmt sticks them on 3rd.
