BBC News: Reports " Why Bakhmut matters for Russia and Ukraine "
Lets Get Real:
As noted yesterday by this blog and by other reporters, there is no military strategic value to Bakhmut, it has made itself important, as the article notes to Ukraine as a symbol and the killing of Russians, those Russians that could be fighting somewhere else in the Ukraine, also its causing frictions in the Russian Forces, the mercenary leader is complaining that his men are not getting the support of other Russian Forces, there is a lack of ammunition, that fact that Russia is using mercenaries is a very great tell, Putin is afraid that they might have become a THREAT to him, thus it could be one reason for the lack of ammo and the distrust of the Russian Army. Also the Kremlin wants to keep the Russian Armed Forces happy, Putin does not want them asking question and taking a real hard look at the Russian losses in a operation that was meant to last only a few weeks. The West must send it tanks to the Ukraine, the Kyiv Government might to hurry its offensive, this is an excellent time to strike the Russians hard. Also the West needs to consider giving the Kyiv Government the F-16 fighter jets that it has requested, what about getting former Western fighter pilots to fight the Russians, then the West would have some control over where they fight and when.
