Anyway.
While Bakhmut city is certainly lost (more or less), I think AFU could be in a good position if they regained some more ground in the north and a little bit of ground in the south. pic.twitter.com/yoWSSHW6Kt

RuAF keep committing units to Bakhmut and it's possible we will see them withdraw Wagner units and send in regular infantry, BARS etc. in Bakhmut. This is also why continued attacks on the flanks are needed from the AFU to force RuAF to commit troop.

They should have 9 bde equipped with western equipment, 3 equipped by them self. There is another 9 brigades in offensive guard. Ukraine have additionally 8 or so units forming. Plus there are a bunch of TD brigade and regular brigades which could support the offensive.

Reminder: None of the newly formed brigades have been sent to Bakhmut.
