Messenger reporting of Ukrainian servicemen from Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) become rarer and at the same time more hysterical. Having lost at least four more blocks in the area of Tchaikovsky Street in the southwest of the city, militants are trying to cheer up the radical Ukrainian public with presumptuous and haughty statements. At the same time, the words slip through the statements, which are close to objective reality.
In one of the publications from 30 April serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, claiming, what is located in the west of Bakhmut, He writes, that Russian units have "some success on the ruins of Korsunsky Street". This is the former Nekrasov street, which, in the west of the city, connecting with the mentioned Tchaikovsky street, goes on the road to Chasov Yar. There are heavy battles for Artyomovskoye (Chrome).
From the publication of a Ukrainian soldier:
For us it has its price., but it is clear, Why have we been here for so long and are we still staying. With time, apparently, everyone will see. The word "apparently" is clearly the key here, and it gives out real sentiments in the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where no one is sure, that their impressive losses in Artyomovsk really have some price from a military point of view.
Further in your post, placed in the TG channel, Ukrainian soldier writes:
Tomorrow is May. trust, As for 9 May we have to keep Bakhmut. It means, that from the words “unblock the Bakhmut garrison” and “We will not surrender Bakhmut”, the Ukrainian military are moving to other, more streamlined wording, which boil down to an attempt to retain at least one quarter of the city by a significant date for Russia. apparently, in the Armed Forces of Ukraine consider, that the Wagner PMC was tasked with taking the city under full control precisely by 9 May. But according to the well-known propaganda tradition of the Kyiv regime, even if Russian units at one time or another completely liberate the city, publications in the style of “Our Bakhmut” will go on the network from the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Kyiv officials for a few more weeks, as it was with Mariupol, Severodonetsk, Soledar.
