The 12k is just the guy's estimate, but if they're really sending the reserve poo poo intended for counteroffensives into Bakhmut that's wild. Big "throwing good money after bad" energy.

What happened to never reinforcing failure?? Is this Ukraine buying time, or has their leadership lost focus on the bigger picture?

Fizzy what your missing is the fact that a strategically important city like bakhmut was taken by a completely expendable firce of mercenaries and prisoners and the russian army itself is still out there getting ready for a big punch while the ukranians have been completely bled dry and exhausted. if the casualty and POW numbers for the ukranians are true ukraine is 100% going to get knocked out if russia makes its next big move soon.

Meh, the West will have another narrative cooked up by then, the state of the war doesn’t matter. Russia is losing harder than ever. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 10:48 on Mar 6, 2023 |

Are there any indications that Russia has the forces in position to push past Bakhmut and that weather conditions will allow that?

That's the big mystery right now, if they're gonna strike it's gonna be a month or so from now when the dirt dries, the issue is if they actually have any forces ready in the first place or are the completely dead on their feet the way Nato has been telling us.

Might as well just be posting the Ukrainian MoD reports. Or hell bring back reports from Ukrainian mayors who somehow know what's going on in the cities they evacuated from. Can we get some phone videos of guys talking in Russian and saying how they're beat really bad and are thinking of retreating too?

It's still striking to me just how completely it all matches the ww2 German propaganda: the savage, starving, ragged penal battalions being flung into machine gun fire by their equally savage but heartless commanders, while the disciplined and technologically superior westerners are gradually forced back by the sheer weight of Russian corpses.

They're merely toying with the russkies The Ukrainians very clearly have a massive pre-war army in reserve and they are only sending newly trained units with Western toys is to give them a little experience at easily mowing down waves of orcs. I don’t even know why the Russians try, probably their barbaric culture.

fizzy posted:Citations needed. what exactly do you think militaries fight over? you do know its not like games with victory points right? The press's obsession with 'strategic significance' is to obfucate Russian objectives: the Ukraine military IE any town or city with Ukrainian troops in it is a strategic target. If Ukraine puts 12,000 good men in a city, thats a really strategic target. I find it really loving weird that the super pro-ukrainian side is laughing this up as another silly Russian thing while 12,000 people are left to die in a place that their own side supposedly thinks is unimportant. Gross.

If the Western narrative also also shifted to that they are using up their newly trained reserves, delaying (possibly indefinitely) a spring offensive, what is the route for victory for the Ukrainians? They are just suppose to keep on taking hits until Russia goes home? Also, even if you didn’t want to go on the offensive, those reserves may have been pretty helpful versus a Russian offensive. Luckily, Russia is completely spent I guess because all they had was penal battalions.
