Ukrainian forces says they are conducting “effective counterattacks” in the Bakhmut area, in comments that are in line with claims from the leader of the Russian mercenary group Wagner that Kyiv has recaptured some territory.
Yevgeny Prigozhin on Wednesday accused a Russian brigade of abandoning its position in front-line Bakhmut, allowing Ukraine to seize territory. He has repeatedly accused the defense ministry of failing to give his forces the supplies they need.
Prigozhin also accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of lying, after he remarked that Kyiv still needs “a bit more time” before it launches a much anticipated counteroffensive. “Zelensky is lying,” Prigozhin said on his official social media channels Thursday. “The counteroffensive is in full swing.”

Of the three general perspectives -- 1) pro-Z, 2) pro-P and 3) "not my circus," sides 1 and 2 go at it pretty regularly here in a variety of threads.
My wife and I will see it "over" when it is "over" and whatever the future holds is clearly evident. Before then, the daily salvos fired here in FR are entertaining though.
All the maps I look at see about 500m of a change of positions.
Not really much either way.
Basically some fields

Evgeny Prigozhin on the situation in Bakhmut and on the flanks:
“Today, assault groups of PMC “Wagner”, advancing towards the western outskirts of Artemovsk, entered the so-called “Nest”. Only 625 meters remain to the western outskirts.
At the same time, the situation on the flanks develops according to the worst-case scenario. Those territories that were taken with the blood and lives of our comrades for many months, passing tens or hundreds of meters every day, are today thrown without a fight by those who should hold our flank
“Zelensky is lying,” Prigozhin said on his official social media channels Thursday. “The counteroffensive is in full swing.”

Surprise, Prigozhin!! Its only the 2nd stage. When the full offensive begins, it will be the nasty surprise you were warned about.
East from Kharkiv to Luhansk; South to Orikhiv to Melitopol and Berdanysk; South from Kherson to Crimea. All the while the bulk of the RGF is tied up in one tiny insignificant town.
This is CNN (echo).
May God bless and keep Ukraine and Zelenskyy
Why would God bless that place? What have they been doing to justify that? Please explain.
But just wait until the ground freezes 11!!
Fighting against invading murderers, pedohpiles and other rus nazi psychos.
Going to church for one thing, and suffering at the hands of brutal invading non-Christians for another.
Ukranians practice Christianity, Russians don’t, and even Christmas in Russia only attracts about 1% of the people attending that week.
“About half of Ukrainians attend church services, which has hardly changed since 2000. In general, 15.6 per cent of Ukrainians go to church once a week or more often, another 18 per cent once a month and 34.6 per cent only on major holidays.”
“In Russia the Orthodox celebrations of last Christmas, according to police assessments, were attended by 1 million 400 thousand people, equal to 1% of the population. It is a clearly lower figure than that of 5 or 10 years ago; however not everyone accepts it: some say the police didn’t count correctly; in any case, no type of calculation records a presence of the faithful higher than 3%, and in one of the major holidays.”
Oh? Child trafficking isn’t rampant in Ukraine? They haven’t murdered their own? They aren’t running labs for the west for developing bio weapons? They aren’t backed by all the world’s most corrupt and evil people? What questions did I forget?
“Child trafficking isn’t rampant in Ukraine? They haven’t murdered their own? They aren’t running labs for the west for developing bio weapons?”
Q told you that ? Sources please.
Oh come on! Really? Holy smokes! I’ve been there! Trying to help some of the kids, but these are all military sources and nor can I post them here. What amazes me is you either don’t accept the level of evil that’s been done or just refuse.
I guess knowing that every Ukrainian I’ve met up here that fled blames zelensky for the war. Goes against the narrative eh?
Keep watching CNN. Whatever you do, don’t think for yourself.
” but these are all military sources and nor can I post them here.”
So you know that President Putin is fighting against globohomo Nazi deep state CIA, WEF, Schwab, bio labs, COVID and The Great Rest because you have access to the military sources being the US American military veteran ultra MAGA supporter but obviously you can't post them here ?
Who said I was American?
There is ZERO chance that Ukraine takes back and holds any territory.
Fools like you are too stupid or dishonest to admit that the Russian strategy of attrition if destroy the NATO army. Feeding more soldiers into areas where there is certain to be mass causalities for the Ukrainians only plays into that strategy.
Go pleasure yourself by looking at a picture of Ron DeSantis.
