Kyiv began to prepare public opinion for the loss of Bakhmut (Artemovsk) after, how Soledar lost. Despite bravura statements, sounding like from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and from Zelensky's office, loss of Bakhmut – It's a question of time. According to The Washington Post, Ukrainian military began to talk about leaving the city.
Armed Forces of Ukraine are ready to retreat from Bakhmut, writes the American edition, at the same time, the city itself from the most important strategic point suddenly turned into almost “unstrategic”. The retreat is presented as tactical, to save forces for a counteroffensive in another section of the line of contact.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine recognize heavy losses in Bakhmut (Artemovsk), although in Kyiv they continue to assert, what a loss “Hardly ever”. At the same time, Western media also write about the heavy losses of the Ukrainian army..
We have lost many friends, defending the city, so we don't want to give it up now. But, perhaps, temporary withdrawal of troops will save some of our people- said one of the Ukrainian military.
About, that the overseas masters recommended Zelensky to retreat from Bakhmut to save forces and means, reported the day before. Prior to this, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to submit the same idea, but the Kyiv clown did not like her, an order was given to continue the defense of Bakhmut, a Soledar “beat off”, and this despite, that three attempts at counterattacks were failed. However, in the office of the President of Ukraine they consider, that leaving Bakhmut if it does not have military consequences, which is very doubtful, then in a political sense, this is a complete failure of Kyiv. used photos:TG channel PMC “Wagner”
