Yeah, the Russians are passing bahkmut now and surrounding it. Prayers that some will be spared.
The only ones spared will be those that surrender
Bakhmut is now in final cleanup….will soon be renamed Artymovsk
Some estimates up to 10k Uke troops left with no resupply or reinforcement
One report retreating Ukes “ accidentally” destroyed last bridge over river that divides Bakhmut leaving one unit to swim for their lives leaving behind all equipment, trapping multiple units left behind
The battle line is already moving west and north to Chasiv Yar and beyond, to the Uke 2d ( or 3d) line of defense from Slavyansk to Kramatorsk, cutting off Uke resupply lines, sucking more Uke troops into Russian artillery
Meanwhile a couple hundred thousand fresh trained equipped Russian troops sit waiting on the border with Kharkov and in Belarus
