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.
You said Baknmut would hold, so it really doesn’t matter what you say now.
