What an unforeseen development, wonder what is the goal here.

• Stoking more division in Russian leadership by displaying incompetence.
• Stoking division in the Russian army trying to capitalize on abysmal morals and incite rebellion by way of showing it is possible.
• Forcing Russia to relocate troops away from the battlefield.
• Immediately put to trash any propaganda gain resulting from Bakmut

The goal with the Russians attacking their own might be as simple as to wake up the silent majority in Russia who oppose Putin. If the can see how poorly organised the military and government are they may rise up.
