Russia's Wagner claims Bakhmut; Kyiv says situation critical
(Reuters) - Russia's Wagner private army claimed on Saturday to have finally captured the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut after the longest and bloodiest battle of the war, while Kyiv denied the city had fallen though it called the situation there critic...
Didn't they literally just say they were leaving bakmut because russia wasn't giving them ammo?
I am going with it was probably disinfo. Ignore prior comment. Nothing is mistake. The press needs it to be. It needs to paint these dumb drunk Russians who are in mutiny. They can't take shit. They'll lose.
Was it a trap. They had been firing, all of sudden right when they're about to take it, out of ammo, or retreat. The retreat caused a Ukrainian charge.
Who knows unless you're Russian?
But the fact is the way it is covered by the media, has been almost baseless.
By airing okay for example the Russians are crumbling and counter offensive, did it cost more or less Ukrainians. Far more. However who knows what Ukraine is doing.
Both sides sacrifice pawns if it gets the bigger support or wins objectives. There it was just irony. Real irony, it caused what kind of Ukrainian funnelling? Had they been advancing anywhere else?
I don't care, except you can't watch it, can't read it, because it is literally stupid on providing a war brief or what we know of stardate 450 of the conflict, when it isn't even directly fighting it. It instead assumes some other victory.
