    Bahkmut was strategically significant about 3 months ago when Russia was trying to capture the entire Donetsk region.. It was a city of about 50,000 people. There are 2 other larger cities of about 500,000 each that were originally the target of Russia and would have given Russia complete control of Donetsk. Russia was trying to encircle those 2 cities from the south through Bahkmut, and from the north through Lymon. There is now no chance Russia can take those 2 cities since the northern front has been completely retaken by Ukraine, and Russia does not have anywhere near enough troops to capture two large cities. So why are they still attacking Bahkmut when it has no strategic value?? Because it is the Wagner group. The Wagner group does not fight a war, they fight contract to contract. They currently have a contract with Russia to attack Bahkmut (from many months ago). The Wagner group has refused to accept any other contract/missions. So Putin has a choice, continue to pay them to attack Bahkmut, or stop paying them and have them go home. If you watch a map of the front lines, they have not moved at all around Bahkmut in 3 or more months. Wagner gets paid, and Ukraine has to keep troops there to defend, but that is all that is happening. My own suspicion is that the Wagner group doesn't even want to capture Bahkmut, since that will end their contract. When you are dealing with mercenaries, it is not a war, it is a business.

The US can gloat about sending an extra 4 HIMARS but when Ukraine has lost over half of what they have been sent its not exactly recouping Ukrainian losses and once Russia sends their mobilized troops to a dug in frontline Ukraine is going to struggle in the winter and so will Europe if they continue to refuse gas from Russia.

    Defending Bakhmut has to be one of the least enviable jobs in the world right now, only Avdiivka, Marinka or Pisky could be even worse. After all, the Russians have now concentrated all of their offensive power across just 60 miles of frontline, where they also throw in all the people and weapons which they deem expendable. All the Ukrainian soldiers and everyone supporting them are making huge sacrifices in this war of survival for Ukraine and the free world, but these guys are another step above - I hope that the offensives elsewhere will eventually relieve them, that Russia eventually runs out of bodies to throw at them and that they make it out in one piece. No matter which happy or lucky things will ever come across their way, they have more than earned all of them.

    It's so heartbreaking to see the homes of the people in ruins. They are simple rural people, their houses are small and they don't have much money, but they are happy with their lives in the villages. Now Russia destroys their homes and tries to eradicate their families.

It's easy, honey, just copy the comment and paste it into the translator. Yes, it is sooo tiring, but what can you do, them folks in other countries just insist on having their own languages.

    I think they should bolster the soldiers near Bakhmut with the soldiers and russian artillery from Kharkiv. If only a dozen Ukrainian soldiers with Russian tanks left behind. That would be a huge help. Much like I was worried about Mariupol many months ago, I've been worried about Bakhmut for months. Russia cannot be allowed to take any more cities.
