Today, on a number of major foreign channels and in the media, materials appear about, that the Ukrainian army was defeated in Bakhmut. Some prefer to use a cautious interpretation of “Russia claims this”, others are directly talking about, that APU Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) lost, publishing footage with Wagner fighters on the roof of one of the Artyomovsk high-rise buildings with the flags of Russia and PMCs.
Various Western experts also leave their comments on the loss of the Kyiv regime by the troops.. According to some, during the battles for Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) Ukraine "exhausted the strength of Russian troops", according to others, the forces of Ukraine itself were depleted much more, which is totally dependent on the West and which is now also receiving a psychological blow from another loss of territories.
Noteworthy is the commentary on the defeat of Ukrainian troops in Artyomovsk from the German political activist and businessman Kim Dotcom. He is known for his criticism of the NATO agenda in general and military support from NATO in particular..
According to the German entrepreneur, in Bakhmut "the owner of the restaurant and several thousand prisoners defeated the army, which the NATO bloc was preparing 9 years". According to Dotcom, it reminded him of another story:
…when peasants in sandals drove the army out of Afghanistan, on which the US government spends under a trillion dollars a year. It's a waste. Talking about a restaurant owner and ex-dotcom inmates, of course, exaggerates. After all, not only prisoners are fighting in the PMC "Wagner". But in general, the German entrepreneur is right. Ukrainian army – far from the army of Ukraine, as such. This is a battering ram, who receives military technical, intelligence, instructor's, economic, medical support from NATO. As part of the Ukrainian army, which NATO is really preparing at least with 2014 of the year, thousands of foreign mercenaries are fighting, including officers of NATO special forces, calling themselves volunteers. For a year and a half, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received military equipment and weapons in the amount of, which exceeds the military budget of Russia.
