I think you’ll see surround Bahkmut and then the invasion begins at lightening speed. There are dozens of cities to the west and they all will become bakhmuts if Russia clears Bakhmut. Best to encircle it and then blast west and just see how many cities you can flip immediately.

Some analysts believe that there will be no 'lightening speed' invasion as Putin is working a 'slow and steady' approach in order to avoid escalation.
