All the links above are within the last few days. Breaking news is subject to errors and that is doubly true in war. Take any of these reports cautiously.

A few days ago. ukies still had about 2% of the acreage of Bakhmut. Have you ever seen a football game in which a team that was losing 98 - 2 came back and won??

And how much of Ukraine does Ukraine hold after 14 months of being attacked by the “2nd” largest military? Your claim to victory is almost taking a relatively small city at great loss. Master strategist. I think my favorite video of late is 4 t-90s in one area taken out
Please please please roll your remaining T-90s across open ground, in to Kiev

“In retreat NEAR Bakhmut”

For the most part the Ukes have been driven out of Bakhmut, other than a few blocks on the western fringe. The back and forth fighting is now the the west and north of the city.

Wrong question. The real question is, how much of the real-estate responsible for 95% of hoho GDP is still in hoho hands, and the answer is about six or eight percent. that’s why Russians can just sit there and let hohos come to them; they HAVE to...

As von Clausewitz wrote the goal of warfare is the destruction of the the enemies army. Counting acreage held is the game of an amateur or a Pentagon liar who misplanned the whole operation.

Exactly. Thats why crowing about taking a unimportant town after 9 months is rather meaningless. It was flypaper put by the Ukrainians. Did the job. Wagner is decimated.
Fir what?

That would be a valid point if the war was only about taking Bahkmut.

Gotta remember it’s made by him and maybe 1 other person. Not a huge team of highly paid producers, tech guys etc at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS etc.

As far as YouTube goes it’s well made.

You fell for it did you? It was obvious deception to fool idiots like you into pouring more resources into the meatgrinder that the Russians make of every place they are operating. The US estimate was the Russians would run out the logistics needed to keep up the artillery bombardments. We misunderstimated how many shells they had stockpile and how many they can produce through their primitive manufacturing methods.

I looked at your second video. It was released by Ukrainian military and the date and location of the activity couldn’t be verified. Please try harder, this is pure nonsense.

Ukraine loses 7 for every one they get. It’s insane how many people here want to fight to the last uke.

I remember back in the olden days when they use to have war correspondents and videos coming from war zones.
