Russia and Ukraine have fought for control over Bakhmut for months leading to overwhelming destruction, though Russian forces have slowly began having more success. “We understand that after Bakhmut, they could go further,' President Zelensky said.
The two sides have fought for control over Bakhmut for months leading to overwhelming destruction, though Russian forces slowly began having more success over recent weeks. The town does not pose significant strategic value to accomplishing its overall goals in the war, though it would allow Russian forces to move easily toward nearby towns.“We understand that after Bakhmut, they could go further.
“I had a meeting with the chief of staff yesterday and the chief military commanders online and offline … and they all talk that we have to stand strong in Bakhmut. Of course, we have to think about the lives of our military. But we have to do whatever we can whilst we’re getting weapons, supplies, and our army is getting ready for the counter-offensive.
Yeygeny Prigozhin, the owner of the Russian paramilitary Wagner Group, claimed on Wednesday that his forces, which have been on the front lines in Bakhmut, have extended their gains in and around the city. He said they have taken control of all districts east of the Bakhmutka River that crosses through the city, though the city center is on the west side of the river, according to the Associated Press.
U.S. National Security Council coordinator John Kirby said in December that in Bakhmut, Russia was"literally throwing bodies into the meat grinder."
