“Wagner is decimated”

There are two armies opposing Ukraine’s.

“Wagner”, composed of mercenaries and “contracted” prisoners has been doing most of the fighting and dying. The “lesser” Russian Army—composed of conscripts, is not up to the job.

Look at the countryside videos. Russian artillery has put craters all over the place! None are within 200 yards of another crater, and not close to any other trail of tracked or wheeled vehicles. Is their “shotgun” approach effective? It sure doesn’t seem so.

And...does Ukraine HAVE TO HOLD Bakhmut? I recall that “U.S. interests” said to leave it.

You can look at a video and tell which side's artillery made the craters?

The pro-Ukraine propaganda keeps changing.

Let us get in our little Time Machine and travel all the way back to last year:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/ukraine-war-russia-bakhmut-1.6670438

The best part is the end of the article where a Ukraine spokesperson explained “the situation is under control”.

Not any more....
