“ Putin has ordered that Bakhmut must be taken by May 8th, in time for the Soviet Victory Day parade on May 9th”
***********************************************
Why would the Russians want to do that. The HAVE a situation where Ukraine is regularly sending “reinforcements” into a KILL ZONE where they can be annihilated under heavy artillery fire. These Ukrainian forces are not only being killed/wounded in the Bakhmut kill zone itself but also on the trips to and from Bakhmut.
You’re not doing yourself any favors by rooting for Russia. In fact, the reputation of this website is suffering because of the presence of the pro-Russia crazies on it.
