  1. Bahkmut became a symbolic battle, Russia hadn t received any result during that winter and end mai Pregoishin told that he didn t like to go on, so destroying Wagner. So it became a ,,phiric,, propaganda temporally victory, confirmed by the current situation. Attacking towns or buildings is anyway the disadvantage for the attackers, wagner not excluded. To defend fixed positions one needs less ,,quality,, soldiers, as we see today on the Russian front lines. The Ukraine is very carefull to save human lives, so going slow till today, and for that reason they slowly gave up Bahkmut, not giving the Russian time to built much defense lines behind Bahkmut. It s for Russia still a symbolic battle, because Bahkmut hasn t had the very stratetic position ever. Still more than 50.000 Russian soldiers are busy there, and the last days the Russian have to send more and more troops and gear, to stop the Ukraine. So i think it was and is still worth going on in Bahkmut, keeping those 50.000 russian there. In the north the Russians can t cross the Oskil river, but in the south the Ukraine does cross the Dnipro river.
