By Cheong's account, the #counteroffensive that re-captured #Kherson was a failure, and #Bakhmut was a #Russian master plan to put #Ukrainians into a meat grinder. He's also called #Russia the underdog in the #war.

The #Ukrainian city of #Bakhmut was founded in the 16th century, was once a fortress, was active in salt mining, survived the plague in the 18th century, built factories in the 19th century, survived World War I and World War II, and developed in the 21st century.
Today, only #ruins remain of Bakhmut; the city is #dead.
#putin's propagandists describe the interruption of the city's five-hundred-year history and its destruction as "#liberation."

#Nate_Vance took part in the battles for #Kupyansk, #Bakhmut, #Avdiivka, and #Pokrovsk.
When #Nate heard his cousin arguing with #Ukrainian President #Volodymyr_Zelensky in the #Oval_Office of the #White_House, he became angry.
"#JD is a good, smart guy. When he criticized aid to #Ukraine, I thought it was because he had to please a certain electorate, that it was a political game. But what they (#JD_Vance and #Donald_Trump - ed.) did with #Zelensky was an ambush with absolute bad faith,"

The willingness of the #Russian military to sacrifice thousands of soldiers in a blunt-force effort to gain territory... exhibited in the steep losses that marked the capture of two #Ukrainian cities: #Bakhmut last May and #Avdiivka in February."

#fascist #russia will reintroduce a #soviet era position, the #politicalofficer who will monitor that people follow party doctrine and orders, this was a great help for #sovietunion enemies, as the political officer could enforce military officers to execute meaningless attacks which cost loads of man power, just like during the battle for #Bakhmut and #Avdiivka in #Ukraine
So we will see even more waste of life when the russian fascists attack.
