Yikes

These are the high rise areas in the West that Ukraine still controls
What would be the purpose dropping these on concrete structures?

“On about February 14th the Americans came over, followed by the R.A.F. their combined labors killed 250,000 people in 24 hours and destroyed all of Dresden—possibly the world’s most beautiful city. But not me.”

— Kurt Vonnegut

last time I looked at pics a few days ago, there was maybe 10% of the buildings standing and in poor structural condition. Also the Ukrainians are blowing up some of them in their strategic withdraw.

They really want to have a victory by 8 May. Good luck. They’ve bene fighting nearly a year for it. If they don’t get it that is a major failure for them.

If I’m not mistaken, NATO advised the Ukes to leave Bakhmud in January. It’s neve too late.

BAKHMUT NEWS UPDATE 'EVENING MAY 5'.... Despite the alleged artillery shortage Wagner forces continue their advance. Today up to 170 meters and taking 59 000m2, around 2 percent of ukrainian territory. Much of this by clearing remaining area (red shaded 1) north of Vuzvolyteliv Donbasu Street (red circle). Offensive operations continue southwest towards Larysy Shepitho Street (purple circle) and towards Olympic school and Post office (blue circle). The frontline is dynamic and changes often but slowly the secured russian territory moves forward and Wagner forces are closing in to the last ukrainian defenceline in the west (blue line). Areas around Peremogi Street (red shaded 2) are still the tip of russian advance.

I hope that somehow the Ukrainians slaughter the Russian bastards.

If the counter offensive works I don’t think they will go lightly on the Russians.

Said this morning. In light of what happened the last couple days, it was about to get really nasty.

I also suspect that the use of larger fuel air bombs will begin.
Those are especially nasty. The concussion will kill at a very great distance. In close, they will either burn you up or blow your lungs out. Doesnt matter if your in a hole, in a basement, or in a tank.

The last quarter of the city Bakhmut where the Armed Forces remained, everything burning...So Russia can easily use these weapons on Ukrainians as soon as they launch their counteroffensive.

That video was so clear I think I saw the Bakhmut Safeway on fire.

And I in teen oppose the neocons, WEF, Soros, deep state, and western globohomopedos - who ALL support Ukraine and this war.

I wish them all utter defeat.

We can deal with Russia just as Trump did.

Those weapons are good for burning a town, but not for defense.

You attacked their capitol. I’d expect some harsh responses. Both sides should expect this.

Russians are there to demilitarize - that is, kill soldiers and their weapons. Therefore, perhaps no need to destroy structures that will have to be rebuilt anyway.

The Russians are wiping out the last of the Wagner mercenaries?

Guess that Pierogi guy shouldn’t have shot his mouth off.

The street fighting map reminds me of Stalingrad almost 81 years ago.

Vonnegut was a fiction writer. The actual number killed in the Dresden bombing was a lot closer to 25,000 and probably not over 35,000. Which is still a lot of people.

Obvious now that Prigozhin's complaining about the lack of ammunition was a bluff.. The map below shows 18 cities partially evacuated
