“Russia controls Bakhmut, for now, but holding it will be difficult”

“Russia now effectively controls Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, where thousands of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers died in the war’s longest and bloodiest battle. But it is unclear that Moscow’s disjointed forces will be able to hold the decimated city amid a Ukrainian counterattack that has already begun.”

BREAKING. ITS OFFICIAL. HOLY COW.

US numbers have been confirmed by WAGNER. 20,000 dead. Just as the US estimated.

Furthermore, US estimates total RuZZian asualties at 100,000

“Wagner Says 20,000 of Its Troops Have Died Taking Ukraine’s Bakhmut”

“The head of the Russian paramilitary group Wagner said that 20,000 of his troops had been killed in the battle for the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, a monthslong fight that drained Russia’s military manpower.

Yevgeny Prigozhin said that around 10,000 former prisoners out of the 50,000 he recruited to fight in Ukraine had been killed, while an additional 10,000 regular servicemen from his forces had also perished.

In a video interview posted on Telegram late Tuesday, Prigozhin said his troops would have to leave Bakhmut on or around June 1 to “reformat, reequip and rearm,” adding: “427 days of war is hard combat work.” “

Congratulations Speedy, you have reached the bargaining stage of grief.
