Bakhmut - the party is back on!
In a war of attrition, Russia wins.
The Russians are creating twin salients around Bakhmut. If the Ukrainians have enough men and equipment, they could surround and destroy these salients. Whether that’s better than focusing on other objectives - that’s as much a political as a military question.
Why leave, Wagner is reduced to fighting with shovels and pikes.
I’m surprised Russia hasn’t tried some carpet bombing there.
He will fight to the last Ukrainian citizen! He would be there along side them, but he has a pressing engagement.
Prigo having a panic attack tonight on Telegram asking Putin for ammo and air support:
“PMC” Wagner “blocks Bakhmut. In order to unblock Bakhmut, it is desirable to block PMC” Wagner “. For this, the AFU created a number of groups: in Slavyansk (67th brigade), in Seversk (81st & 66th brigades)
in Chasov Yar and Konstantinovka. To securely unblock Artemovsk, the AFU need to block the PMC “Wagner”. You get a “pie”. The filling is the parts of the AFU surrounded by us, if there is a complete encirclement of Bakhmut. And the shell is the PMC “Wagner”.
Therefore, I knock on all doors and sound the alarm - with ammunition and reinforcements, and also so that we cover our flanks. If everything is coordinated,without ambitions and tantrums, they do this joint work, then we will block the AFU, but they will not block us. If not,
everyone will get f***** up. When this pie is created, I will drop a cherry on this pie and stay with my guys, rake this mess. But that doesn’t make it any easier for anyone.
Therefore, the AFU will fight for Artemivsk to the end, this is obvious,
and we must also do our work to the end. But when the whole world gathers around you, it is necessary that someone interact with you. That’s why we knock on every door. So far, my representative has been [expelled] from headquarters.”
The Russian planes will get shot down due to an active missile defense in Ukraine.

This is the best possibility for Ukraine victory - and survival. We will know within two weeks if they can do it. Do they have enough men and ammunition left? Right now, the "horrible truth" is that we cannot tell from the information available to us. All the propaganda cancels out to zero information.
No amount of propaganda from any side of this war will be able to disguise the outcome of the next phase. The fog of propaganda is still too thick for me to guess what that outcome will be.
Zelinsky has one huge advantage over WWII Germany, though - Nuland has promised him the entire NATO arsenal as long as he stays the course. But if he dares to give up the act prematurely, she will have him killed long before Putin ever gets to him.
That’s a flat out lie.
They need to be suing for peace, not sacrificing more people.
It will be Mariupol all over again. Many will die needlessly.
I didn’t know he was there.
Zelensky is not in Bakmut, he doesn’t get his hands dirty. Throw bodies at the Russians, for the almighty Dollar. He is a low low man.

Bakhmut Doesn’t Matter. Moscow is doomed!
