Correct, in another week or two Bakhmut is lost.

Also, Russia is paying a huge price to get it.

Does "Pyrrhic Victory" mean anything?

Ukraine desperately needed these last few months, and they got them, even the dreaded winter offensive was absorbed.

Now Ukraine is better prepared for what both sides have planned for the Spring.

Bakhmut is being liberated by prisoners and mental cases while Russian troops are manning artillery. It’s a losing proposition for Ukraine.
