(AFP) – Ukraine pledged on Monday to bolster its defences in frontline Bakhmut, after reports that Kyiv was withdrawing from the city that’s become a symbolic prize in the war.

The eastern Ukrainian city has been virtually flattened in what has become the longest and bloodiest battle since Russia’s more than year-long invasion.

Ukraine has reported an increasingly difficult situation around Bakhmut in recent days and some analysts said its forces may have initiated a strategic retreat.

It is way past time to get to the negotiation table.

But...Pentagon calls Bakhmut an unimportant village.

How much of their country should the Ukes give up?

[davidb56]

double talk..you don’t bolster your forces in one sentence and retreat in the next.

[Kazan]

It's the Biden regime that doesn't want negotiations. It wanted this proxy war with Russia and still wants even though it losing it badly.

Stolen elections have consequences.

But...Pentagon calls Bakhmut an unimportant village.

Well, in the scale of things, the Hürtgen Forest wasn't particularly important strategically, but it turned into one of the bloodiest battles on the western front.

Why are you so invested in surrender? Its not like its your backyard being invaded.

[wastedyears]

Any day now, Ukraine will be marching on the Kremlin. Any day now...

More Ukrainian boys and old men to feed to the Russian artillery.

Every bit that is controlled by NATO and Hunter Biden's pals.

[desertsolitaire]

That is a terribly important and terrible question to have to be entertaining. If ignored, is there a reasonable chance that Ukraine can win on the battlefield instead? Or might they lose it all and any sovereignty by only fighting until the end?

"It's not like its your backyard being invaded."

That's right. It's not our damn backyard. We need to be worried about our own backyard, since the south fence is down.

[Magnum44]

I dont disagree, but if Ukrainians are fighting for their own backyard, why are you advocating their surrender? This is not about YOU.

Hopefully, the Last Ukranian in Artyomovsk can crawl to the negotiation table.

Fight to the last Ukrainian. I've got a blood lust to resolve.

But I thought this town was insignificant to Ukraine

—> How much of their country should the Ukes give up?

At this point in history, about a third.

[Salohcin]

Using the Russian name for Bakhmut is very revealing. 🤔

[Navy Patriot]

Planned ahead just to trigger you.
