Odd, I read Bakhmut was strategic and important for Ukraine.

When the British media told me that Bakhmut was strategically unimportant, that's when I knew it was important and Ukraine was losing there.

If you look at the maps, there is nothing of strategic value there. The value was to the Wagner mercenaries that received bonus for territory.

Wagner salaries were cut 75% for non performance

Russia has been trying to take it for months now. Since the beginning of August. Don’t know why you’d think UKR was losing there.

lmao... me too.

I really didn’t think much of Bakhmut at all, but started researching it’s significance as soon as the media started reporting it’s insignificance.
