Now that the 🇺🇦 supporters are claiming Bakhmut was of no strategic importance…

Flashback to 12/21/2022:

Zelensky speaks before US Congress.

He says Bakhmut is the “stronghold in the Donbas” and that the Battle for Bakhmut will “change the trajectory of our war”. pic.twitter.com/sAbtA6fIRE— Clandestine (@WarClandestine) May 21, 2023

Now that the 🇺🇦 supporters are claiming Bakhmut was of no strategic importance…

I've always said that Bakhmut was strategically worthless and that the Russians obsession in taking it at all costs is absurd, ever since you first told me that it was "over" back in October.

Heck, it's STILL not over with fighting going on in the streets this morning.

Bakhmut was a town to no where, and is nothing but a pie of useless rubble right now.

The Battle of Bakhmut will go down in history as the fight where the Ukrainian Army, fully supplied, supported and trained by NATO, took its worst losses of the War. Without NATO aid, this war would have been over a long time ago.
