Magnum44: "Question: How can Bakhmut be a serious vital supply line when it’s been surrounded on three sides by Russians for months?"

higgmeister: "It was only vital for the Russians to lure Ukrainians to there death."

The supply road now threatened by Russian forces is said to be vital to resupplying Ukrainian forces defending Bakhmut.

Bakhmut itself is said to be NOT tactically important, that the reason for holding onto it since last August was simply to invite Russians to attack and be destroyed in Ukraine's defensive meat grinder there.

But the truth is Bakhmut is hugely important symbolically because:

"The eastern city is one of the last urban areas of Donetsk that has withstood Russian incursion."

Bakmut and Avidivka important- Bakmut, roads, and rail lines, without those the Ukies have to move over flat, muddy plains, in commercial pick ups….Avidivka highly fortified since 2015, the area that the Ukies have been shelling Donetsk since 2015. There WERE huge amounts of Ukie artillery positioned there.

The Ukies know how important both are, thus the huge amounts of Ukies they sent into Vlad’s meatgrinder…..as we are seeing, to no avail.
