Bahkmut isn't going to fall. The attack to the south is just a unit of separatists that poked around the village Optyne, not the Russian Army. It's reportedly noisy in the area, from Russian artillery, but the separatists haven't dislodged anything in Bahkmut.
The bigger problem for the Russian Army today is the mass resignations going on outside Svatove. According to the governor of Luhansk, the experienced soldiers are looking at the recently mobilized conscripts as their permanent relief, and are turning in their resignations en mass and walking away from the line as soon as the conscripts arrive to their positions.
Russia should cut off Ukraine from western arms supply. This means controlling border with Poland. This is essential to limit their losses and clearly show to UA that victory is not an option.
"The russians say…." Probably "The russian MoD and Rybar say…." Other russian sources say Tosrske, Terny, etc, were attacked but not conquered, It was just a MoD news stunt. Other russians say the ukranians retook them the next day in a counterattack. Be objective. So russians are, at least, somewhere in the outskirts.
Kreminna – RU just waiting for UK attack and shooting them up. Keep doing that. Same in Kherson, RU v happy to have UK come out for a beating. When RU forces are fully ready these battered UK troops will get routed
As soon as Ukraine liberates Sievierodonezk they will move south and attack and attack Wagner near Bakhmut from the rear. So I still wonder what sense there is I attacking Bakhmut.
Especially now that there is no Lyman in Russian hands anymore 😁🇺🇦
They know otherwise the Belorussian army will surrender quite fast and hand over all their armor to Ukraine and fraternize with their Ukrainian brothers.
Rasputitsa will slow this whole enchilada down. Russian basing in Belarus is staging only / resupply; however, the Belarusians are dirty as sin, remain co-perpetrators in this conflict as the Russian Air Force has been conducting strike missions out of Belarus – notably, over the past two days of missile attacks. Bakhmut is also in play (the real target of significance is the "hub", road network intersection SW to W of the city). The situation west of the Dnipro River for those 22K Russian troops effectively "trapped" is not good and they're poised to retreat (in spite of the fact Dictator Putin has ordered they hold at all cost).
Interesting since Ukraine stated that attack on Bahmut was repeled succesfully. Probably some wishfull thinking from russians bloggers (I think Bahmut already fallen like 5 times or smth.) but I guess we will see in a day or two is this claim is legitimate in any way.
If Russia mounts even a half offense from the north combined with off and on missle bombardment it will make things extremely difficult for Ukraine. Ukraine have thrown most , not all, of what they have in their operations in the south and east. I think this is about to become interesting and even more deadly. If Russia regains territory before winter , and fortifies , it will be very difficult to recapture it before spring. History dictates the longer land remains in Russian hands the more likely it is to remain in Russian hands. Other news to note the west is hinting at sending more weapons including air defense. Russia is upping the artillery game as well as adding more manpower probably within a few weeks maximum. Let me know what you think of my assessment. This channel is doing a tremendous job. Thanks for reading.
Hunter Biden jobs prospects in the Ukraine energy industry as looking terrible. Wonder if he'll be able to collect unemployment benefits? Rents are so high now as well. He might have to move back home and stay with dad to save a $$.
It's all speculative until we get more independent confirmation of what's going on. So what else is new? BTW Defense Politics Asia reports that a Wagner group officer insists Opytne is still under Ukr control. DPA sez DPR announcements are especially unreliable and should be taken with a grain of salt.
@NewWorldEcon If the Russians were going to attack from Belorussia, then it wouldn't make sense that they were plundering all the heavy weapons from Belorussia and shipping them to the south.
Bakhmut is more of side show now that Russia has lost Izium. Before they could threaten from the North at the same time and with Izium lost it will WAY more difficult now to take Sloviansk & Kramatorsk.

Belarusian military makes the Russian forces look capable in comparison 🤣
Probably similar with this presenter phantasy. They might lose all the rest but at least they got this one

💪🇷🇺❤️
It looks like the Ukrainians are venerable to a counter attack right about now. Especially if a northern flank is opened up from Belarus.
You should use NASA fire map to confirm where activity is located.

News not extrapolation.

US GO HOME

😁🇺🇦
Belarus. They want joint forces.
They know otherwise the Belorussian army will surrender quite fast and hand over all their armor to Ukraine and fraternize with their Ukrainian brothers.
In Kherson the Russian major is asking for evacuation for the Russian people there.
He thinks Kherson will fall into the hands of Ukraine.
But I wonder if any of the Ukrainian there wants to move out into Russia.
Russia is a failed state and Ukraine has a glorious and wealth future ahead.
I recommend to listen to „reporting from Ukraine“ as well.
Short but very informative 🇺🇦
At what point does "The Bakhmut Offensive" become a meme?

Opythe is in Ukr hands solidly ..why lying????😂😂😂😂😂Bakhmut is falling for 3 months now..dont think rus army even made it close to it..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wagner's next monthly salary is coming, so they "capture" Bakhmut again? ))))))
I also remember Wagner HQ Base in Popasna getting blown up. Did you forget that bit.
GUYS, GUYS! HAS BAKHMUT FALLEN YET!? SURELY, ANY DAY NOW!
~Russian simp channels since beginning of August
WHAAAATTTTT? Ukraine is not winning? damn 😂
There is no Russian breakthrough. I’ve unsubscribed. This channel is wrong more often than others.

I guess there is no end to this bullshit…
You are good man. Great coverage. It's to hard to be objective these days but you are. Good luck

Z O V 💪✌👍
Ukraine is currently without internet in most areas. One needs to consider this fact when deciding if they should trust their sources.
The Ukrops and their clown are losing international support and ardwarevis getting more and more difficult to source. And winter is coming
Soon the greatest WW2 army will come in t-62s and rusty aks. Did they forgot we are in 2022?
Hopefully ukraine getting ground and suply lines in north-east then orks in bakmuth are in a drying up position!
Thanks for the update.

Pro-against Ukrain…
My lovely channel I sub you.
I watch your videos at 1.5 speed lol
My guess is that Belarus logistics are even worse than Russian logistics.
UA needs send more troops to bakhmut

Bakmut city will eventual fall to Russia.
