Ukraine will have fire control over the Southern Road leading into Bakhmut. It's becoming close to an operational encirclement.

"After Bakhmut it's small villages and outposts. Until they reach Kramatorsk once that goes it's over there's not much left to take to incorporate the 4 new regions."

Lengthy post from milblogger Bulba of Thrones discussing the "Genocide of Ru artillery"

TLDR; Ukrainian losses pale in significance to Ru and while Bradley's etc can be replaced, Howitzers, MRLs and other Ru artillery cannot.

Lengthy post from milblogger Bulba of Thrones discussing the "Genocide of Ru artillery" TLDR; Ukrainian losses pale in significance to Ru and while Bradley's etc can be replaced, Howitzers, MRLs and other Ru artillery cannot. The crackdown on dissenters such as Girkin, bloggers and military figures is seen as preparation for bad news in the Autumn. Another "goodwill gesture" is predicted soon.

Really fascinating to see Russians characterize the Ukrainian campaign as being more successful than most Western news organizations characterize it. https://t.co/gMkbQ7QnU8
