Russian forces have likely seized the center of the hotly contested city of Bakhmut, where they are threatening an essential supply route for Ukrainian forces in the west, British intelligence said Friday.
The eastern city is one of the last urban areas of Donetsk that has withstood Russian incursion. Now mostly reduced to rubble, the city center has been the focus of intense fighting for months.
“Ukraine’s key 0506 supply route to the west of the town is likely severely threatened,” the British intelligence update warned.
Ukrainian military expert Vladyslav Selezniov previously said that forces will have to retreat if the ability to get supplies in and wounded soldiers out is further compromised.
“The situation is difficult, the enemy is concentrating maximum efforts to capture Bakhmut. However [Ukraine] is suffering serious losses and not reaching strategic success,” Eastern Military Command spokesperson Serhiy Cherevatyi told Reuters.

Question: How can Bakhmut be a serious vital supply line when it’s been surrounded on three sides by Russians for months?
Asking for a friend…
This feat is even more impressive in that Russia is out of ammunition and is using tanks from the 1940s.
Our resident Ukraine Propaganda Thread Poster will not like this news.
The poster uses two different screen names. The giveaways are:
Under both names, the poster spells Russia “Ruzzia.”
The poster also repeatedly posts to themselves under the original post.
The poster also likes to randomly type words in ALLCAPS.
The feat is pathetic considering that Russia has been trying to capture Bakhmut for 8 months, and in that time advanced barely 20 miles.
During the same time the Russians lost kherson and thousands of square miles east of kharkiv.
Pretty pathetic for the alleged 2nd strongest military in the world versus Ukraine.
How many billions has the US flushed down the toilet in this war.
My bet it that the US has spent more funds than Russia.
>>>This feat is even more impressive in that Russia is out of ammunition and is using tanks from the 1940s.<<<
Don’t forget that Ukraine has been winning this war for the better part of a year too! I’m sure the purported Ukrainian counter offensive to take back Crimea will happen any day now!
LMAO at all you Ukraine lovers. You should be like me. IDGAF who wins this war. It’s not in America’s interest either way.
Of course XiJinBiden has spent a lot more US wealth than Russia has. Mrs. ‘Hairy Dancer’ needs to sock away a few more billions into the Swiss bank accounts. Those Paris shopping trips really dig into the budget!
What is in our interest is the weakening of Russia’s military power and the strengthening of NATO and the West’s military power and unity, and both of those are exceeding far beyond what was thought possible 14 months ago.
We are reaching a much better positioning for the future China threat.
And soon they’ll get to know the pain of rooting out/assaulting dug-in, modern forces.
They will burn through men and equipment as the Russians did.
It was only vital for the Russians to lure Ukrainians to there death.
Some things are just not a mystery.
their
“We are reaching a much better positioning for the future China threat.”
By depleting resources and political will.
Yep.
Only a neocon could think this is how you position to fight China.
Laughable idiocy.
It is indeed miraculous.Our Lady of Russia is watching over them.
That must be why we gave up untold fortunes worth of military hardware in Afghanistan and munitions in Ukraine. We are better positioned for the Chinese takeover.
B.S.
With Milley and Austin in charge? LOL.
Those 2 could not even withdraw from Afghan without getting our solders killed.
However or whoever or whenever the West fights China, it will need NATO and the American military better prepared, and better armed, with a reinvigorated weapons-producing West and greater awareness and unity on military issues, and a lessened Russian threat.
All that is happening, and even under the liberals in control, it is still happening to a degree.
Look at your posts, they have nothing to do with what I posted, I posted what is actually happening now.
