Bakhmut has fallen.
Another week, another Bakhmut has fallen. Its been like 30 or so weeks that means 30 Bakhmuts have fell. Is this it ? Is this the last Bakhmut to ever fall ? Or is there more Bakhmuts left in store ? Find out next week.
The meme is “bakhmut will fall next week” but this time bakhmut truly fell, only a couple buildings in the eastern outskirts have no Russians in them (and i mean literally a couple, whats left of them at least)
Bakhmut is under full Russian control as of now. If it will change who knows. But for now bakhmut has fallen and the siege which took many Ukrainian and Russian lives has ended, not for long tho I am sure as Ukraines counteroffensive has started and the same siege will take place but with the roles switched and more lives lost to the meat grinder of Artemovsk.
confirm by both camp? Prigo making a tiktok is not a proof of anything for me.
You do know that ‘Artemovsk’ is a Soviet name? It is kinda bizzare that you (and they) so stubbornly use not the traditional pre-Soviet, but that one.
The city was vacated, mostly. There is still some resistance in the Southern part. I dougt that Ukr will attempt to retake the city, especially head on. It looks more like ‘line straightening’ for now.
Claims who? The leader of Wagners? The same one who claimed to withdraw it’s a few days ago? Anything he says is just PR, and nothing trustworthy.
Visual proof claims it.
Nothing left standing to fall.
According to the testimony of the butcher Prigozhin, Wagner will withdraw the troops from Bakhmut on May 25 for a “rest”, he readily mentioned two names that helped him in the occupation of Bakhmut, General Suravikin and General Mezintsev. There was criticism of Shoigu and Gerasimov and he said that one day they will be responsible for their actions.
The hunger games continue…
The farce of the story is that Prigoshin put the Bachmuth conquest, as his own personal struggle above everything, only to raise the flag in this city now. But then 5 days later to withdraw the troops there, so that the Ukrainians can recapture the city.
Prigoshin is not waging war against Ukraine, but against his inferior ego.
Is it confirmed that he conquered Bakhmut ? Or is he just saying it so he could justify Wagner retreat. Retreating without fully occupying Bakhmut would look bad for Russia.
I think that a few more buildings are still under the control of Ukraine in the private sector, but this is a matter of 1-2 days, so formally Bakhmut is under the orcs
Some kind of fire under Velyki kopani what is going on in that forest? It is clear that there are Oleshkivski sands, did the Russians drive manpower and equipment there?
Jerome, what’s the meaning of the crosses west of Dibrova and south of Kuzmine?
The crosses are fire detected by FIRMS satellites.
It’s overlay of FIRMS map, showing active fires.
Thank you
from deepstate team’s telegram:
The enemy is making progress in the western part. Keeping the remains of the city has already lost all meaning. The defense forces have finally cleared the Stupka tract and are continuing to pressurize the Katsaps south of Ivanivskyi.
I know, but we’re missing visual footage. I don’t want to mark something just because others do.
I know; this is quite dynamic now on the ground. Seems that the last elements of Ukr reargruard are vacating the premise, not much left which could be used as a fighting position after these 8 months..
Prigozhin made an official statement just now. Bakhmut is taken by Wagner https://t.me/concordgroup_official/1002
so, this time it is “taken not legally” for a change?
Apparently this time it’s legally, physically et omnia
Is there a video of Wagner near the MIG-17 monument?
I am not aware of such video. I think I saw reports that the monument was destroyed earlier this year
for “in whole” they still are short of a few streets and buildings. But generally – the city had been flattened and taken.
