NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned Wednesday the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut might fall to Russia in the coming days following months of intense fighting.
His remarks came as Russia's Wagner mercenary group, which has spearheaded the attack on Bakhmut, claimed to have captured the eastern bank of the industrial town, devastated in the longest battle since Moscow invaded Ukraine a year ago.
Wagner chief and Kremlin ally Yevgeny Prigozhin said on social media Wednesday that his forces "have taken all of the eastern part of Bakhmut", a salt-mining town with a pre-war population of 80,000.

Compare this lie by Stoltenberg to what Zelensky told Wolf Blitzer on CNN a few days ago:

Russian troops will have “open road” to capture key cities in eastern Ukraine if they seize control of Bakhmut, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned in an interview with CNN, as he defended his decision to keep Ukrainian forces in the besieged city.
“This is tactical for us,” Zelensky said, insisting that Kyiv’s military brass is united in prolonging its defense of the city after weeks of Russian attacks left it on the cusp of falling to Moscow’s troops.
“We understand that after Bakhmut they could go further. They could go to Kramatorsk, they could go to Sloviansk, it would be open road for the Russians after Bakhmut to other towns in Ukraine, in the Donetsk direction,” he told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in an exclusive interview
Wait. I thought Putin was dead. Al that loot and treasure and Bakhmut will likely fall as will Kiev. Centuries of shifting borders and wars and wrong-way Biden comes along to screw up even more. Yeah, and Afghanistan. Can this guy be anymore of a nightmare?
There are a lot of FReepers on Pelosi’s and Hynea’s side.
If Euro-skank-ho is admitting it in public, Bakhmut is done.
Euro-skank-ho needs a drone strike. It’ll shut the globaloid hole in her face and save some (mostly Ukranian) lives.
then the good people of Ukraine can get back to work doing what it takes to get by day to day and enjoy life, instead of playing "call of duty" to fill the pockets of racketeer war mongers like the Biden Crime Family and the repulsive congress criters
Willy Brown didn't even get that perk.
The narrative is crumbling...
I’m not an expert in Onshore Warfare Tactics, however Bakhmut looks to be a critical transport chokepoint that will substantially support Russian supply lines for all purposes.
It’ll take a dozen of my lifetimes for the People of Ukraine to get over this GloboHomoNazi division and hatred.
BidenFamily, the Grift That Keeps On Grifting...
Need. More. Propaganda.
We have had this same headline for a couple of weeks now. So now it sounds like the sky is falling bull shit.
They still buy the horse dung shoveled by the US government despite being caught in one lie after another. Bad habits are hard for warcons to break. In a way they are stuck in the past like the US military, wanting to fight an old war that never happened, using old tactics and policies when the world has changed and left them behind.
Lots of UKE alpha males have died and more will be sacrificed to grow UKE elites wealth. UKE elites whats NATO forces, which would be mostly US troops and $$$, to enter this EU sponsored war.
Biden’s handlers want war w Russia, UKE is just a bridging war to the showdown.
MIC gets richer, UKE elites gets richer, Biden gets his 10% while UKE youth dies, US troops are put in harms way and wealth is bleed from the US middle class.
None of is difficult for the Dems to coordinate and accomplish, they have the Uni-party, Senate, IC, military brass n 45% of the American public in their back-pocket.
I thought Putin was getting Decimated?
No, that's the US Constitution that is getting Decimated.
Putin is the Distraction.
