This article is the high art of excuse making. You’d get the impression that what’s left of the Ukraine forces just felt like leaving - they have better areas to defend...lol.

I was told here, countless times, that Russia was losing Bakhmut. Expect tears.

I hate this war and our involvement - but I LOVE watching the harpies cry and screech.

“Ukraine: Possible Bakhmut retreat...”

Yes that would be a BRILLIANT move by Ukraine, making the Russians wonder why they ever fought so hard. Little did they know that Ukraine never intended to hold Bakhmut.

(gotta LOVE how the media tries to paint lipstick on this pig - the biggest Ukrainian defeat of the war)

Third hand article. Weak, even for you.

The decadence of Russia.

11 months of war against a tiny place like Ukraine... and you Kremlinists are losing ground. Putin thought it would be over in less than a week... Wow....

In SOLEDAR there isn’t even a Russian army present anymore, they fled! Kremlin had to pay convicts from the Private Wagner group to do its dirty work there. Wagner is being decimated in Soledar even though they are 6 times more in numbers than the Ukrainians.

Russias army seem to be in very bad shape.
The only way it will survive and buy itself some extra time is to do ANOTHER massive draft of innocent Russians to become even more cannon-fodder. Russia needs to be fighting 6 to 1 in order to have a slight chance.

How come you need and average 6 Russians to take down 1 single Ukrainian Viking? It’s surprising.
When will you start the next HUGE draft? Your current army is doomed without it. And you know it.

You (Russia) can still surrender, before its too late. Before you will be assimilated to Al Quaida, and other similar terrorist organizations.

Bombing sleeping Ukrainian civilians is the only thing the Russian army still seem capable of doing.

Dear Russian people, save yourself from the deep-state neo-soviets in the Kremlin. Stop being cheap cannon-fodder for the warmongering communists.

Russia’s going to take down the Ukraine whether NATO, the US, or the Ukraine likes it or not. Maybe the US will escalate the whole thing with nukes.

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for January 16, 2023.

- Russian forces are consolidating control over and around Soledar to the north of Bakhmut;

- Russian forces are also apparently preparing a much larger encirclement of Bakhmut itself;

- The United Kingdom, in addition to sending 14 Challenger 2 main battle tanks has claimed it is sending 30 AS90 155mm self-propelled howitzers;

- The AS90 is lightly armored and vulnerable to a variety of Russian weapon systems including growing numbers of Lancet loitering munitions;

- The AS90 has a different engine and transmission than the M109s being sent by the US and other NATO members meaning yet another supply chain for spare parts must be created to sustain them on the battlefield;

- The UK only has 117 AS90s meaning London is sending up to 25% of their inventory to Ukraine;

- Claims that the UK is also sending AH-64 Apache attack helicopters appear to be false;

- Apache helicopters would face almost insurmountable logistical, training, and operational challenges in Ukraine;

- Russian military industrial output, even according to low-end estimates by anti-Russian sources indicate that Russia holds a dominant position regarding attrition warfare.

things must be very very bad for Z-ski given the recent amount of Zeeper propaganda!
things are bad for Z again today.
Wagner has captured the Sil railway station along with adjacent residential area.
Fighting continues at Salt Mine #7.
The Soledar mop up may take a few more days.
.
If the attack on Krasna Gora captures high ground, m-03 road which brings supplies from Slavansk would be within artillery range..bakmut northwest encirclement advancing...
.
Wagner advancing around Klesheevaka..High ground there would bring the supply road from Constantinovka in artillery range..Bakmut southwest encirclement advancing.
.
I wouldn’t want to be in Bakmut.Biden don’t care about the last Ukrainian!
