The Ukrainian army on Wednesday said that Russian forces have begun to retreat in the key city of Bakhmut — just as President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that more time is needed to prepare for a counterstrike.

The hotly contested eastern Ukrainian city that has been the backdrop for many of the war’s fiercest battles has seemingly been abandoned by some Russian troops, according to Ukraine’s ground forces commander.

Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi said that Russian troops in parts of Bakhmut have retreated following triumphant counterattacks left Wagner troops fatigued.

The units that fled have moved about 1.2 miles back, he said.

At Stalingrad the Germans were the invading force.

At Bakhmut the Russians are the invading force.

Actually the Uks haven’t got back anything in the city, its the southern area in the forest that they over ran the Rooskies. Wagner still controls 95-97% of Bakhmut city.

Yeah listen to all you geniuses who say Russians can only win.

I don’t predict anything, but from what I saw yesterday it looks possible the Wagner Southern flank is being rolled up and at risk of being encircled.

And that’s exactly what the leader of the Wagner forces said might happen.

But hey Russia never loses.
And Ukrainians are all homos.
And every other childish rant.

I care and we’ve been so abused by total aholes here who scream that Russia obliterates everyone,

I pray to God that Ukraine further humiliates and slaughters the vile evil Russian pigs who brought this war in Europe.

And anyone who defended it is a gd idiot.

If you don’t care then don’t bother people.
