Fortunately, yes. The Russians wanted to eliminate neo Nazi forces in the Ukraine and after some movement, settled down to let the neo Nazi’s come to them in Bakhmut.

There was so much about how wonderful it was that the Ukrainians were holding the town, but Russia was just using it as bait - letting forces stream in and killing them. It meant less supply line logistics for the Russians - just wait and the Ukrainians will send the next group of soldiers for the Russians to kill. The Russians are taking heavy losses as they have determined that the Ukraine will continue to be an existential threat to Russia until it is completely defanged. But the Ukrainians have lost far more troops, few with relevant combat experience remain, and have been saying for some time they don’t have the ammo/hardware they need to mount an offense.

What’s really offensive is to watch Z’s puppeteers just throw the citizens into the grinder as canon fodder. This should have stopped a long time ago, but Z’s NATO handlers thought they could wear Russia down and are instead, wearing down themselves.

Most of the neo Nazi core of the Ukrainian military has been killed but there are still a significant number and they still ‘hold Bakhmut’. The true tragedy are the conscripts and others used as cannon fodder.

It is the Russians coming to Bakhmut where the UKR forces are. Russia has been attacking that town for over 7 months and have suffered extraordinary loses.

It generally accepted that attacking forces lose more then the defensive forces. Would you agree with that?

You are Nazi. Ukraine hasn’t invaded anyplace. Russia invaded the Republic of Georgia, Ukraine, and threatens other neighbors. Putin said “Russia knows no borders.” Now THAT is real Nazi thinking. The crimes committed by Russia in the Donbas in 2014 brings on all manner of SS or Stalin nostalgia. You are a war criminal too by supporting crimes against humanity and crimes against my own family and friends in the Donbas.

Have the Russians actually taken Bakhmut yet, despite us being told ad nauseum that "it's over" for the past three months?

Answer: No.

'nuff said.

Russia knows that they probably have roughly another 2 years before the West can even start to ramp up production of weapons significantly, due to the fact that the West simply shutdown their military production infrastructure after the Cold War, producing only enough hardware to replace what was consumed in training and relatively minor adventures like Iraq and Afghanistan, and not protecting any standby production capability (after all, why bother when “The End of History” book proclaims that large wars are over). Heck, it took a nearly a year for the Military-Hating Leftists running this war to even realize that our weapons stocks were not infinite, not even close to that.

So why should Russia hurry? Easier to level their targets before moving in, if the Neocon Cannon Fodder (Ukrainians) are not interested in retreating.
