Deepstatemap is showing the Russians very close to the Bakhmutka river. The fate of Bakhmut east is likely to be sealed.

dolgan

Rumor from ukr side talk about retreat from the eastern part of bakmut close to be ended Yesterday.

The question IS more to know If ukrain will try to hold western part or retreat completely.

Patrick

I think they will leave if and when they lose Ivanivske.

Sheld

By then it will be too late. It’s either now or lose the army.

Chris

Everyone should remember that the 46th Brigade was supposed to counterattack at Soladar. Never happened. I think it is time to pull out of Bakhmut before we have another Mariupol. I hope the Ukrainians have a good plan.

MeNeutral

They are probably already pulling out a lot of soldiers, if they’ll be able to pull everyone out is a different question, but the most likely answer is no. Time will tell, but a retreat within the next few days or weeks can be expected and hopefully it’s an organised one.

DucktheDucker

Stupky district has been captured

Chris

By who?

MeNeutral

Russia. there is a video of the Wagner group confirming it

DucktheDucker

Deepstate map telegram has several geolocations of russians there

Kay

Looking at the map on Twitter, I have a feeling that Ukrainian forces may actually succeed in encircling the Russians in northwest Bakhmut and cutting them off from supplies.

That would be a sign that the city is not going to fall after all.

jj1977

well, he is the only one reporting such thing, without any proof, mentioning units that are deployed elsewhere.. so i would be very careful to get too excited about this all..

JJ Gonzo

I would hold the horses in this case.

xTheFedorov

What doesn’t make sense to me is how would Ukraine be able to launch a successful counter from within Bakhmut, towards Paraskoviivka after they blew the dam causing a flood around Yahidne.

Also wouldn’t sending a mass amount of vehicles along the M-03 highway be a suicide mission?

Inexorable

Enough recon and observation with drones since weeks help them to anticipate and see what the Russians have….. If they know there is few artillery on the other side let’s go with tanks and counter offensive!

dolgan

The dam IS empty now .

Its probably just a “raid” without trying to hold the ground .

A part of the “small War” between defender and assaillant.

During ww1, this kind of raid could penetrate 3 lign of trench. For an action during less than 30 minutes in ennemy area .

WE already see this kind of action in bakmut area .

Tristan

As long as there is no visual confirmation, it is only rumors, and we shouldn’t pay attention to them (same thing when Russians claim something without any evidence).

However, Ukrainians should have enough forces to do so, and it would be a clever move to do one counter attack like this before the new mud season. Wait and see.

Tristan

selensky called me and offered me the old job of Moskaljow. Friends, soon i will have to say, mission accomplished. Trust me, trust me all!

Dwarf Mines

Ukrainian forces reportedly managed to advance in the direction of Paraskoviivka

The pessimist in me, assuming these reports are true, thinks these counterattacks are intended to create breathing room for withdrawal from at least eastern Bakhmut.

The tweets from Artur Micek also indicate that he believes this is something of a significant gamble.

Noelle

this is perpetuated (and echo chambered so to speak) by a few Polish twitter accounts. No other indications. As much as I would want this to be true and succesful, I’d hold my horses until some reliable information (if any) will arrive.
