Run like hell from the cauldron before it closes would be my guess...or surrender. 🤔
More cow bell-er tank kills please.

Every day it is getting more and more obvious that the brunt of the fighting today is going along the Solidar, Bahkmut, Adveyevka, Donetsk, Maryinka line. Near Bahkmut Russian troops have been stubbornly advancing throughout the day. According to the General Staff of Ukraine, its last evening report, Russian troops were able to take positions in Semigorye, took, according to their data a part of the settlement.
Usually when the Ukrainian side says about losing part of a settlement it often turns out that they have lost the whole. So far I have no data that the entire Semigorye have been taken. Nevertheless according to the same Summary of the General Staff there are attacks in the area of Zaitsevo and Kodema we see that they attempt to access Bahkmut from the south in order to then start the battle inside the city already.
Ukrainian sources say that Zaluzhny reported to Zelensky the other day that the battles for Bahkmut inside the city itself, according to his calculations may begin next week. This is already becoming inevitable, given that the main reserves are now going into the Southern direction. Some of the artillery systems have been removed from here. There is nothing the Ukrainian armed forces can do here to counter the might of the Russian offenses.
Reserves are running out and the tactics that I spoke about a couple days ago, how Russian troops are attacking today near ADveyevka and Donetsk directions (by the way they took several strong points in the area of Peski and Kras nogorokva took some positions in the area north of Adveyevka - all this puts an extra pressure on the Ukrainian army and it brings results.
Because the losses that the enemy is suffering on this entire contact line (and our units are not really in a hurry to go forward, they are just grinding reserves here and taking new positions only when the enemy stops offering any resistance at all) that is the ratio of losses is now to the level of 1.15; 1.20 and it is clear that the Ukrainians cannot bear such losses for a long time. If the Russian command is able to maintain such an intensity of fire on this entire line for at least a week or two, it is obvious that at first the front will float and the enemy will roll back to the northwest quite quickly, surrendering Bahkmut and Solidar and in August we already see the battle for Savyansk and Kramatorsk already.
I have heard this talk of closing cauldrons for months, and yet it never has happended....
