Communiqués from the Ukrainian General Staff indicate that Russian forces are tightening their grip around Bakhmut. Enemy subunits are being held back on the north-western outskirts of the town (Krasna Hora, Paraskoviivka, Yahidne) and south of the Bakhmut-Kostiantynivka road, including on the western side of the Donets-Donbas canal (Predtechyne, Stupochky), which they have now crossed. The Russians are also expanding the area of their assault to the northwest of Soledar, where they have crossed the Bakhmut-Siversk road at Vasyukivka. The aggressor’s offensive is being contained south and east of Siversk, in the Avdiivka area, and in an arc west of Donetsk, where fighting for control of the city of Marinka continues. Clashes have also occurred in the Luhansk oblast, on the border with Kharkiv and Donetsk oblasts; the fighting there is mainly taking place between Kreminna and Siversk.
Reports that fighting in the Zaporizhzhia oblast resumed in mid-January remain unconfirmed. According to the Ukrainian command, the enemy is conducting battle reconnaissance and trying to improve its tactical situation. Russian attacks on the defenders’ positions occur regularly, but they have been carried out in small groups, and no offensive actions on a larger scale have been reported. The regions of the nodal towns of Kamianske (on the River Dnieper, 30 km south of Zaporizhzhia), Orikhiv and Huliaipole have been indicated as the main targets of the Russian strike. The attackers have been making field advances south of these towns, most likely by seizing part of an earlier strip of no-man’s land.

Russia will find some way to lose
No one cares what Canadians think
we’ll be here a year from now, arguing about why this war is going into Year Three
DPA war, a YouTube blog said Russia just made a breakthrough north of Bakhmut. Said the front just disintegrated and it looks bad for the Ukes.
Very recent , like in the last 5 hours.
No idea how reliable.
But you told us they surrounded it days ago. You mean you lied to us? I am shocked, shocked.
DPA works pretty hard to be accurate and impartial.

First time I saw any of their stuff.
A year from now there will be no men left in the Ukraine. You sure as hell won’t be there.
Correct. It was operationally surrounded then and now. Reading comprehension a problem?
A bunch of white people killed off. Thrillingly for the globalists.
It was a “mop up operation” last March.
I am not taking a side here with this post. All in this battle are human beings with mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children, wives, sweethearts, whether Ukrainian or Russian or something else.
If this report is true (and who knows what is true or not in this war?), it is beyond heartbreaking if the Ukrainian guys were left there to be slaughtered en masse.
Kyrie Eleison.
Yes, I heard that also. Winston Zelenskyy has sentenced thousands of brave kids to their death.
Perhaps soon they can erect more statues to mass murdering communist dictators.
Saw where you were excited on the other thread about the CCP gaining a financial foothold in Brazil.
Amen, and all of this could have been avoided. There was a near deal last MArch, which was sabotaged by Washington, London and the screaming Neocons who cheer for war. Any war.
never mind statues, fox your rotten and corrupt Republican party. They caused this mess.
