I've started to believe Bakhmut is a meatgrinder for the Ukrainians that was fed by incompetent leadership and that Ukraine might indeed shit the bed and lose this war.
Now I'm hearing Bakhmut might not fall after all and that Ukraine is already starting to push in the Zaporizhia front.
But tbh I'm realising I don't know shit and am completely dependent on a handful of news sources shaping the narrative.
