A Ukrainian commander said the situation in Bakhmut, a city in eastern Ukraine, is "critical" and that there are more Russian troops surrounding the city than there is ammunition to kill them all.
Volodymyr Nazarenko, a deputy commander in the National Guard of Ukraine, told Ukrainian NV Radio that the fighting is currently going on "round the clock" as Russians relentlessly push to capture the city, according to a translation from Reuters.
"They take no account of their losses in trying to take the city by assault," Nazarenko said, adding that Ukrainian troops are trying to "inflict as many losses on the enemy as possible."
But it may not be enough. Reuters reported that Nazarenko told the radio station that Ukrainian soldiers in Bakhmut have less ammo than there are Russian troops attacking the city.

Sounds like they need a few billion more. Get your checkbook out Uncle Joe!
Maybe the Big Guy needs to throw in, say, 10% more.
How could this be happening, we were told the Russian economy was in shambles and they running out of ammunition and hardware

It’d be nice to have a few A-10s about now, eh? They got lots of bullets.
That’s when bombs are a help.
“This one will be over soon.”
People cheerleading for the Russian kleptocracy have been saying that for a year. Putin was supposed to have his feet up in the Ukrainian Presidential office last June.

I expect the “we’re winning” propaganda to roll out thick today. Our cheerleaders are fighting to the last Ukrainian.
Heavy weapons and lots of armor forming up on the dry high ground for when the Orcs move out of Bakhmut and across the soggy wet lands
Send lawyers, guns, and money
So after Bakhmut - then what?
Is the door open to go all the way to Kiev, or will the next little industrial town 30 miles down the road be the same thing?
Yes.
And the Russians will have lost so many men that their days of effective aggression will be over for years.
It isn’t the ability to arm troops so much as the ability to put them in the field at all.
The Ukrainians need a commander like General Longstreet.
Obviously the Ukrainians need much more devastating weaponry. A few 10,000 pound bombs, MOABs, and FAE should do the trick.
Prayers for these unfortunate souls in proxy war meat grinder.
Where are the peacemakers?
FJB will send you more ammo. He loves high body counts.
No air superiority, A-10s would last for about the flight time of a missile.
