Do any of you Russian supporters realize just how pathetic gloating over this so called “victory” in Bakhmut makes you all look? It took 9 months and tens of thousands of lives to capture the 56th largest city in Ukraine that’s purely symbolic and has no military value and is not even a city anymore, Ukraine still controls the roads that were the only military prize Bakhmut had. Ukraine was not routed as Russia has been so many times in the last 9 months and the battle is not even over, the city is captured but they can’t move an inch further and they are losing ground on the flanks to a small Ukrainian force.
9 months to capture a Russian border town when Ukraine captured the Capitol & major cities like Kiev, Kharkiv, Kherson, Izyum, Lyman, Kupiansk, Balakliia in just weeks. And do you really think Russia is going to take the much larger much more heavily fortified Kramatorsk and Slovyansk? The Russian army has no offensive capabilities, proved that with that so called winter offensive, Wagner is spent and won’t ever fight in another battle in this war. It’s a victory for Russia but to say it was a pyrrhic victory is an understatement, it’s the very definition of a pyrrhic victory.
Do any of you think this might be a trap, that perhaps Ukraine could send a couple of those newly formed armor mechanized regiments in to encircle Russia or do you think this battle is over?
