Russia has deployed a new military formation of about 15,000 soldiers to fight around Bakhmut.

Ukraine's spy chief, Kyrylo Budanov, said the 25th Army was deployed earlier than planned.

Budanov said Ukraine is pinning down Putin's forces near Bakhmut to prevent redeployment to the south.

Ukraine is pinning down a newly created Russian reserve force near Bakhmut and is confident the 15,000-strong unit will be destroyed, Ukraine's spy chief says.

Kyrylo Budanov told The War Zone that Ukraine was pinning down Russian forces in Bakhmut to prevent them from being deployed to other axes where its counteroffensive is pushing forward.

"The Russians recently redeployed their only reserve force - the 25th Army - which was just recently raised and hasn't completed its creation," he said.

"Now it's redeployed to roughly the north of Bakhmut, and that's the place where it's going to be buried."

How do you “pin down” 15,000 troops? There is a machine gun firing at all 15,000? There are interlocking fields of fire effectively pinning down every troop over many square miles of land?

Propaganda is hard. Harder than these clowns can handle

Great if true but if it were true, why would they say it publicly?

If true, that’s good.

The more dead Russians, the better.

Russia defeating evil tyrannical western governments with leaders installed by globalists is what you should want. If you have a brain not washed thoroughly by the us government owned media.

are you saying von Paulus' 6th Army wasn't surrounded at Stalingrad?

somehow, 265,000 troops got "pinned down" ...

“””How do you “pin down” 15,000 troops? There is a machine gun firing at all 15,000? There are interlocking fields of fire effectively pinning down every troop over many square miles of land?”””

When they say an Army or a Division is pinned down or cut off, I don’t think they mean each guy is ducking at the same time.

I already miss the American, CIA-trained, HIV+ tranny who used to give these dramatic and blood-curdling statements on behalf of the Ukraine Government.

It made their nonsense so much interesting!

Cong Katherine Clark (Dem-MA), minority whip, told POLITICO that she intends to force McCarthy into a corner on aid to Ukraine.“Dems want to continue our support for Ukraine,” said Clark.

60 Minutes reported not only do Democrats pay for
<><>57,000 Ukraine First Responders,
<><>pensions, and salaries for health care and education officials, and other “humanitarian needs,
<><>but also pays salaries, pensions and “associated expenses” of the massive Ukrainian govt,
<><>and $$$ aid to Ukranian small businesses including helping them find foreign markets.

That adds up to a “niggling $2 billion per month” as Democrats
demand another $24 billion allocation for the never satisfied Ukraine.

This used to be an American site. Now we have Russians such as yourself stinking it up with vodka breath and borscht farts.

Go back to the Motherland and kill a Uke for Putin.
