The situation around Bakhmut: latest news
- The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said that most of all, the Russians dream of reaching the administrative borders of the Donetsk region by the end of 2022. This is also why they continue their futile attempts to storm Bakhmut.
- Thus, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has systematically suffered military defeats one after another. Therefore, by the end of the year, the Kremlin wants to show at least some results to its population and, more importantly, to the outside world.
- The Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that now the enemy has somewhat changed tactics in the Bakhmut direction: instead of large battalion tactical groups, the invaders operate in small groups. In addition, to break through and exhaust the Ukrainian defense, the invaders use prisoners, who are actually a disposable element.
- Military expert Mikhail Prytula is convinced that a change in tactics will not bring any success to the invaders at the front. In his opinion, such a change in tactics testifies to the great losses of the Russians, because the occupiers become less by 500-600 people every day.
