The ISW suggested that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were preparing to withdraw from Bakhmut
Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War said in an updated report that geolocation footage released on March 3 confirms that Ukrainian forces have destroyed two critical bridges in the Bakhmut area.
One of the bridges across the Bakhmutovka River in the northeastern part of the city and one on the way to Khromovo village, west of Bakhmut.
This may indicate that the Ukrainian troops are trying to interfere with the movement of Russia in the east of Bakhmut and limit the potential exit routes of the occupiers from Bakhmut to the West.
