—”One of the most brutal slugfests in the history of warfare.”

“Shelling of Bakhmut began in May 2022, but the main assault towards the city began on 1 August after Russian forces advanced from the Popasna”

The Motherland Calls, something I’ve wanted to visit has 200 steps up the hill representing the 200 days of the Battle of Stalingrad.

Depending on how it is counted they are past the famous 200 days. 247 from May 2022, 155 from Aug 2022.
But not to worry, the Russians will adjust history to their liking, given the chance.

Russian logistics were not very good at Stalingrad and possibly improved since?

Germany’s logistics were much worse.
