Ево шта пишу Украјинци:
On the flanks of Bakhmut, it finally stalled. The thing is that the offensive there was originally launched based on the simultaneous actions of the garrison in the city, which, in turn, could start them only if serious reinforcements arrived. But there were no serious reinforcements, and the attacks on the flanks, it seems, turned out to be another attempt to prove to the layman that "not everything is so simple." By the way, neither Zelensky, nor Reznikov, nor anyone from the Command has yet announced what happened to Bakhmut. Although a number of European and American publications have already analyzed and criticized all actions with Bakhmut from beginning to end.
Now this section is being "concreted" and will soon become unpromising for standard offensive actions. Well, if some "genius" in the Command decides to start the announced counteroffensive with the return of Bakhmut, then we will simply repeat everything that the enemy has been through since August. But we don’t have enough meat for this meat grinder.
