Germany and US is worried that Ukraine has poured so much into Bakhmut that when it falls, it will be much worse for Ukraine than if they just abandon the place to Russia.

A Russian comes home after fishing trip and hears the news that Russia is at war. He asks another Russian what is going on, and he tells him:

"We are at war with NATO!"

"Oh wow, how many troops have been lost?"

"Well, we have lost 100,000 troops, almost 2000 tanks, a thousand artillery pieces, several hundred helicopters and aircraft, several generals have been captured, our economy is in shambles, and the Moskva was sunk.

"And NATO?"

"NATO hasn't showed up yet."

My favorite so far ......Ukraine Farmer drives up to the front of a Russian Tank column. Crew of the first tank is outside looking pretty glum. "Problems boys?""Ran out of gas." "Need a lift or a tow into town?"

Yes Bakmut has been a meat grinder for both sides.

Of course PUtin has far more inexperienced civilians turned soldiers to waste there. Maybe his plan is to get Ukraine to run out of bullets in killing off 250,000 or so.

These are someone's sons, fathers, and brothers
That is the sad part of a brutal dictator forcing a an illegal war- it is others who march and die for his greed. Wars are nothing more than what James said on a national scale:

James 4:1-3

King James Version

4 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Looking at post 4 how one can only see above the mouth, we can see that Zelensky has the same eyes etc like as Hitler ! His is maybe related to Hitler ? boy he looks like Hitler very much so.
Who is his mum and dad ? I have not heard anything about such who they are ?

What a monster ! willing to kill how many Ukrainians ? for what ! himself and a bunch of totally wealthy scum to get richer and people of Ukraine poorer.

The entire Russian military is inexperienced. The only experience are generals. And what exactly does that experience come from? Afghanistan, years before the US took over. That's a long time without a war to gain experience from. That's why you see generals on the front and generals becoming causalties ....Russia will run out of criminals and actual battlefront experience before anyone else.

China used the method of running out of bullets in Korea. The first attacks on American lines were every fifth person a military soldier, the other four were civilians with farm tools. The idea was to cause American lines to expend ammunition and heat the machine gun barrells to a point that they could not fire anymore. Eventually the charging line would be every other person in uniform ....or every person. Part of the China problem? The US had learned from Germany to switch barrells and continue the rate of fire.

Russia is nearing the point that the only experienced persons left will be the guys that flip the switch and turn the keys ....to launch

Maybe. We can only hope that Putin is not insane enough or have a bruised ego big enough to order the keys turned. For he is losing the war in Ukraine.

HIs economy is in tatters. His oil industry is shutting down
there are near global sanctions on their products.
They cannot get the chips necessary to produce hi tech goods and weapons.
Putin is now dropped to the point they are pulling T-55 and T-62 tanks out of mothballs, refurbishing them and sending them to the Ukraine.

Absolutely! Putin grossly miscalculated when he invaded. He thought Ukraine's military was far more of bumbling fools than his military is! He also thought that barking like a bully would scare off other nations from his illegal land grab from a sovereing nation in violation of many pacts He signed off on.

I would not be surprised if the whole lot was just set up to kick off the Games played on the majority, so as to reach their targets in reducing the worlds population, that they believe has to take place or else we will all die ? They have said such has to happen in fact !

The destruction of the USA economy is what Biden and Co is doing, but this has been going on for many years in fact and one would have to be a fool not to understand that the people are been played with by a totally corrupt body of Satanist within Governments, in all Nations, Australia as well ! and it sticks out like dogs balls in fact. everything is done to undermine the majority not to mention morally corrupt as well, deranged totally deranged filth mongers in fact are promoted.
The Australian Defence Force is a Joke, it's totally controlled by deranged queers, setting them all up as useless good for nothings. Political Correctness is now the King of the Defence force ? Real defence is out the window now and run by spastics that will open them up to get them killed, to much red tape and outright nonsense will leave them as dead ducks sitting in the water ! One fears your own defence more than the enemy as to who will get you killed ? It's all been set up that way ! God help anyone in the Defence Force who questions the Spastics up top, or you come under a Nazi type enemy of the State game being played out on such a one in fact. it's that rotten to the core.
One has to be like a little boy to the Queers above you or else. For years now the Australian DF men have been openly hated by the top Brass lowlife, who have openly said such and stoped all Australian men from joining unless you are Queer or a metrosexual dingbat or were not born here or are a woman. If you are a Islamic Arab that's fine you are welcome in ? and we had such shoot our own ! but no regard such as that is just sweep that under the rug, nothing to be seen here ! The ADF has been totally undermined everywhere you look is stupid or dumb decisions by morons !
The Head of the ADF should be shot for Treason, he is an outright Traitor not to mention in breed spastic.

I fear that the USA, Germany France and UK are all controlled by fagots by that I mean little boys who have not grown up to be men in fact. This stupid War will get right out of control ! and if not we, still have a huge problem of the economy getting way out of control !
But it's only the people who will cop that in the neck ! not the political trash mongers, who are clearly selling us out down the drain.
Work it out ! and de escalate the stupid War games, because all we can see is escalate escalate escalate ! over what East Ukraine ! that's pathetic ! Just as stupid as was with Poland in WW2 and was soled out to the Communist anyway, because that was not what the War was about at all, just like Ukraine is now ? their is a bigger picture to what the MSM tell you all.

We are going to go into WW3 regardless, That's the Game ! and a NWO that is Satanic Communist, murders from the beginning ! they have to get their 80% of the World population killings so as too save the Planet ?
Most will only starve to death, because no oil = no crops and industry will be destroyed and all of your Super will vanish if they kick off WW3 in fact and if one does not believe that one is a total fool !
WW3 will be a total disaster for most people and only the fat cats will be over the moon with such because they will clean up big time.

Look at that moron Biden, he lets a China scan over the USA for 7 days with that Balloon. China is scanning where best to bomb the USA and Biden let them, because he is on China's side ! Such as he has built China up in fact to become the Monster that it is now. Who can say that's not true ! They did ! they built up N Korea as well with USA Tax payer footing the bill for years, why ! NK would of failed in fact, just as China would of clearly failed in fact, but such were brought back to life and now we have a Nazi type of Communist China and not to mention a Nazi type of Ukraine monster being fed by the world of Socialist.

Zelensky is running a very evil Government in fact and it needs to be taken out ! Zelensky is a Tyrant ! and an outright murderer of the Ukraine people in fact ! He brought it on with his mate Biden as back up.

Russian troops destroy Ukrainian defenses in Bakhmut – Russians control 1/3 of the city and enter the city center (Videos)


the countdown has begun for the total Russian takeover of Bakhmut. The Ukrainian army command has ordered a gradual withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the city, as it is only a matter of days before the Russian army fully takes the city.​

The Russians already control a third of the city, with Russian troops six blocks away from the center of Bakhmut.

"The situation in Bakhmut is really very difficult. The Russians have deployed huge troops for the latest attack. We are preparing for a difficult defense," said Zhorin, 3rd Azov commander.

In the past week, the Russian army captured the territories of Klishchiivka, Stupotsky, Nikolaevka Blagodani, cutting off the T 0504 road and further strengthening the grip on Bakhmut. Now Russian troops are attacking Ivanivsky from the west.

Ukrainian troops have been forced to move reinforcements from Kramatorsk to Krasne to prevent Wagner's troops from breaking in the direction of Khasiv Yar.

Recently, the commander of the Ukrainian armed forces Denis Yaroslavsky revealed that the Russian army controls 1/3 of Bakhmut.

He specifically said:

"The situation in Bakmuth is objectively difficult. The enemy has partially occupied the city: the industrial area and the private sector along the river. The enemy actually manages to break through small parts of the front and approach our positions. Now the city is systematically under enemy artillery fire."

Russian forces have placed two main roads from the Ukrainian hinterland to Bakhmuth under artillery control and are trying to cut off all supply routes into the city, he added.




Combined weapons - a look at Russian air operations in the Donbas

"The city is not only attacked by Wagner's troops, but also by tactical units of the Russian army. Bakhmut is operationally surrounded. Russian troops have now cut off all highway connections to the city, leaving only a few rural roads open."

What is the situation in the city of Bakhmut?

North of Bakhmut, "Wagner" troops fight in Krasna Hora and Paraskovievka. In the Sobachevka area, the "Wagner" forces have razed the front line on the Opytne side and are advancing deep into urban development. South of Bakhmut, the attack of PMC Wagner continues into the Budenovka area.

Analytical:

Situation north of Bahmut: The Russian army has made further progress in Miasokombinat and now controls more than half of this area. A few kilometers to the north, the Russian forces captured the Artyomovsk wall materials factory south of Krasna Hora and advanced further to the Tire crossroads.

The Russian army and Donetsk troops began clashing with the Ukrainian army in the northern district of Stupka.

Situation south of Bakhmut: Russian army troops reached the edge of the city cemetery and clashed with the Ukrainian army in the first buildings of the Sobachivka district.

In recent days, the Russian army and Donetsk forces have increased their positions north of Opytne between the Bakhmutovka River and Pershyi Radianskyi Street.

Situation west of Bakhmut: The Russian army made significant progress along the water channel and brought the H-32 road under artillery control. In addition, the troops reached the outskirts of Ivanivske and continue to increase the security zone around Klishchiivka.




Putin has plenty of firepower up his sleeve

Situation in Bakhmut: The Russian army and Donetsk troops began to advance towards the tall buildings between Vatutina and Nekrasova streets and took control of the new sector of Dobroliubova Street.

The Russian army took control of the ALC SINIAT gypsum mine and Hlyniana Street in the Miasokombinat area.

The Russians have captured Nikolaevka

The capture of the settlement of Nikolayevka brings closer the moment of the complete encirclement of the city of Artemovsk by Russian forces, Igor Kimakovski, an adviser to Denis Pushilin, told RIA Novosti.

"This is something positive. It means that the ring around Artemovsk is tightening even more. The liberation of this settlement brings us closer to our success in the encirclement of Artemovsk," Kimakovsky said.

Nikolaevka is about 20 kilometers from Artemovsk.

So after a year, th el;oss of over 120,000 troops, half their main battle tanks and over 7000 other armored vehicles. Russia may take Bakhmut whil Ukraine is preparing to take back the Crimea that belongs to the.

Remember Russia is now sending T-55 and T-62 tanks to teh front line.

The huge Russian troop losses are not verified, war time propaganda.

When Bakhmut falls to Russia, the way west is wide open as the entire UAF front collapses. They have put in too much material effort into Bakhmut.

The loss of Artyomovsk in any form (retreat or storm) means the collapse of the front line for the AFU. And not only on this line of defense (it is already fragmented), but basically in the entire AFU system of the Northern Front.

As explained above, a small advance towards Seversk has already initiated the AFU's withdrawal from the Lysyanka outpost. And there is, so to speak, a "bottleneck": the withdrawal of the AFU units, which have been gathered there for a long time, is only possible via Seversk. Without Seversk, there will be an encirclement with subsequent recovery of Krasny Liman and possibly even Izyum.

Additional excitement is caused by the information that, given the speed of the advance of the Russian armed forces, the enemy does not have time to form the necessary defensive area around the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk-Konstantinovka agglomeration. This is surprising, but it is a fact that increased construction work is currently taking place there, and Kramatorsk, where army headquarters and supply depots have been housed for years, is now open from the east.

And the huge UFA losses are unverified war time propaganda! Both sides are spewing false numbers.

American advisors to Ukraine has been urging Selensky to give up Bakhmut for now. It has no strategic value and Russia has not the professional personnel nor material left to exploit any breakthrough they may make there anyway. Ukraine is gearing up for Crimea.

Ukraine is gearing up to for Crimea ? What a dumb move ! Anyone who would try that would cause WW3 in fact and some one is going to get a Nuclear Bomb dropped on them for sure !
But we know that Zelensky is totally insane Satanic Nazi trash that cares for no one.

Stop the Tyrant Zelensky from brining on WW3, Billions of people will die ! and most people in the world will starve to death.

The USA can not afford to go to War as it is and if WW3 kicks off China will kick in for the go for it full on !
So if USA wins ? well well it's broke for a start. fun times for all ! Not at all.
I do not think the majority of people have a clue what hardship they will face. Tell Zelensky to pull his head in and grow up !
