·     The Ukrainian defence of the Donbas town of Bakhmut is under increasingly severe pressure, with intense fighting taking place in and around the city. Regular Russian Army and Wagner Group forces have made further advances into the northern suburbs of the city, which is now a Ukrainian-held salient, vulnerable to Russian attacks on three sides.

·     Ukraine is reinforcing the area with elite units, and within the last 36 hours two key bridges in Bakhmut have been destroyed, including a vital bridge connecting the city to the last main supply route from Bakhmut to the city of Chasiv Yar.

·     Ukrainian-held resupply routes out of the town are increasingly limited.

Get out of town to fight another day, let the orks be martyrs for Putin. I learned in Vietnam to never fight a battle you are going to lose.

@Dan Slaby, I'd like to add to my comment: When Prigoshian comes to boast about his success be ready to fire an Excalibur round to welcome him personally.
