Bakhmut is taking a beating
Ukrainians are possibly setting up for a most anticipated spring offensive. While battles ensue in many regions captured by the Russians the Ukranans are now taking them back at a high price to their own forces and the Russian aggressors. Bakhmut has been one of the battlegrounds where victory has swayed back n forth. Today even the Russians admitted to losing Bakhmut. This comes soon after the Wagner Group Commander had publicly stated he was running short on munitions and not getting the assistance the Moscow he needed. However, that’s been some two weeks ago and the fighting continued through today. Many lives have been lost on both sides though Russians are losing soldiers and conscripts while the Ukrainians have been experiencing continued missile strikes killing children, mothers, families, an infrastructure, and a resilient military force that has countered Russian infantry operations heroically.
This past week the British approved the Storm Shadow missile for use by the Ukrainians with an agreed guarantee they will not fire into Russian territory. The Storm Shadow missile will help the Ukrainians aggressively hit targets deep into the Russian-held territories disrupting their supply chain and command n control posts. The missile is said to have a range of 250 km or a range of 155 miles. This makes it three times as lethal force as the US Himars missile with a range of 45 miles. – We hope that Ukraine can very soon regain these territories and the Russians withdraw to the previous 2014 borders when they took over Crimea.
