That article is hilariously wrong.
There aren’t 25k Ukrainian troops there, and , while the battle is close, Ukraine still has Chasiv Yar .
Then the third paragraph is the same Russian propaganda canard about carving up western Ukraine. Next you’ll be trying to claim bioweapons labs again.
Chasov Yar, a new tactical group, Karpaty, has been formed with the task of defending the town. Despite this, the threat of an operational encirclement of Bakhmut is growing, as members of the AFU also say in radio communications.
Russian troops are less than two kilometres from the Chasov Yar - #Bakhmut highway. Assault troops have advanced into the forested area.
LOL you believe the TV when it comes to that?
