This is good an update of Bakhmut situation as any:
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin bragged that it had “legally” captured Bakhmut by capturing some administrative buildings. Still, that’s not where Ukraine’s next line of defenses are set up, and no one cares what Wagner lawyers think about the situation.
The flanks, manned by Russian troops, are still sitting quietly. All the action is in central Bakhmut, leading to speculation that the Russian army is allowing Ukraine to resupply the city in order to rid themselves of Wagner once and for all.
Damn, Russia still can’t use the rail part of the Crimean bridge!
That operation proved gold. Rail is far more efficient than trucks for ferrying war supplies to the front.
Oh, this is cool, using technology to help find land mines.
There are new conspiracy theories that this is all staged. Because nothing can happen in today’s world without conspiracies, and especially not when rightwing wackos are concerned.
Today, let us count the ways that Vladimir Putin has screwed himself and Russia.
