Enjoy your rubble Vlad. You’re going to have to rebuild Bakhmut the same way you rebuilt Mariupol.

doubtful. They may have taken the city center, but all sides are basically saying 10-15K Ukraine troops still in the western parts of the city

No, it’s not the Ukrainian lynch pin in the East. It’s a strategically worthless mining town out in the boonies.

I think that’s his plan. If he didn’t, then Blackrock would.

They might want to rebuild the railroad infrastructure; not clear to me that they’d want to rebuild anything else in the place...

Exactly. And only one of a string of industrials cities in the middle of Donetsk, most of which are still occupied by the Ukrainian army.

I thought they said that several days ago. At this point it’s just a bunch of muddy bomb craters so no great victory for Russia. The reason the Ukrainians were resisting at Bakmut was that the Russians were sacrificing 2.5 of their own for every Ukrainian casualty. The trade was seen as a positive by the Ukrainian commanders.

The truth is always somewhere in the middle. It is a very important point on Ukraine’s defensive line, but there are numerous cities all the way to the Dneiper that can and will stop Russian progress west as well.

Unfortunately, you have a rather motivated and well-paid ragtag group of mercenaries that are the expendable shocktroops for clearing out a quickly deteriorating conscript army that is searching for a way out. I think this latest leak of ‘US secret information’ is a way of the US/NATO squirming out of attempting a spring offensive because the Ukrainian army numbers are severely stressed and the US/NATO is not willing to commit their own troops.

China will broker a peace deal in June/July.
