  1. Russian forces have taken control of almost 90% of the city of Bakhmut. The Wagner private military company controls about 90% of Bakhmut and its advance is inevitable. The defeat of tens of thousands of Ukrainian servicemen by Wagner units is a big blow to the Ukrainian military command. The Russian military is closely observing Ukrainian Armed Forces maneuvers, destroying Ukrainian military columns and manpower, strengthening defenses and launching massive airstrikes on Ukrainian military positions.

  2.  @kapsi  "The whole importance of the counteroffensive, all the hopes we put on this—this is very unhealthy," Prystaiko said. "If anything goes wrong, or it's not successful enough—and what is enough?—people will have all these excuses. They will say they knew that was going to happen, and now we must get to the table and negotiate something." Russian troops, meanwhile, are sitting on significant spoils of war. "You can argue that they achieved a lot," Prystaiko said. "That's why they can negotiate now." "Negotiations will mean that Ukraine will have to look to the 'low-hanging fruit.' You don't have to be a genius to understand what will be asked of us: at least Crimea." The country's existential struggle is thought to have cost at least tens of thousands of lives, its economy has been devastated, 14 million people have been displaced—eight million abroad—and almost 20 percent of its total landmass occupied. Ukraine is hoping that Western weapons, particularly main battle tanks, will give its troops the edge in the fighting to come. But political and military leaders have been frustrated by the slow pace of discussions and deliveries, and the relatively low numbers of tanks committed. "It's very difficult from the Ukrainian point of view," Prystaiko said. "Everything could be done better and faster. "Talking about this offensive, we will need more than this limited number. Our chief of defense asked for 300, and we have around 130. If everybody's putting so much hope on this counteroffensive, why don't we all invest in this heavily? [...] If we decide that the success of next wave of reinforcing Ukraine will depend on how far Ukrainians will go now, why don't you give us a bit more?"
