Not really. If they keep pressing at this speed they will take it in 2 weeks at most. Their supply lines are almost cut, not to mention that the line of towns and settlements that goes next to a highway (North of Artemivsk) is getting pushed every day. They are losing ground both at the city and at that defensive line, if they lose the line they will get encircled from the North, and that would be worse than losing the supplying lines. If they don’t pull out they will be butchered by artillery.

The most military confrontations in Ukraine are now concentrated in the front-line city of Bakhmut in eastern part of the war-stricken country. The Russian military forces are finalizing the siege of the Ukrainian city by keeping on advancements in the northern, eastern and southern fronts of Bakhmut. The Russians continue military advancements in the northern Bakhmut battle field, following the seizure of other regions, including the town of Soledar, Sol, Krasnopolivka village, Pidhorodne and Blahodatne village along the Bakhmut-Siversk road, and the Russian military forces seized the village of Sakko i Vantsetti in the north of the road, and the confrontations in the southern areas extended into Krasna Hora and Paraskoviivka regions. The seizure of Krasna Hora and Paraskoviivka regions would be Russians last step to surround Bakhmut from the northern front.

 

In the eastern front of Bakhmut, the fighting continues and the Russian military forces succeeded in making some minor advances in this region. The confrontations continue in the eastern front of the Ukrainian city in vicinity of a meat factory as well as Zabakhmutivka neighborhood.

 

On the southern front of the Bakhmut city, Russian forces could advance toward the north of Klishchiivka district, and the clashes reached in vicinity of Ivanivske at the western entrance of the besieged city of Bakhmut. Furthermore, as a result of the advancement in the mentioned region, the Russian army took the control of the heights overlooking the Kostyantynivka-Ivanivske-Bakhmut road. Hence, the Russian military forces have fire superiority over the Kostyantynivka-Ivanivske-Bakhmut road, and the Ukrainian army’s logistics route from the western areas to the city of Bakhmut has been blocked; so, the only remaining path is the road from Chasiv Yar town.

Thing is there is another layer of defense line Behind Bakhmut, and another and another. While Russia stacks these massive gains with the speed of light, Ukraine prepares two large battle groups behind the front for the spring offensive. One south of Kharkov, this will punch into Lugansk, and one in Zaporyozha, which will strike towards Melitopol, Berdiansk (moar liek Berndiansk amirite), and Mariupol. From there they'll mount an attack at the Kerch strait, destroying the bridge and isolating the Russian forces in Kherson and Cimea.

 

Which version of Leopard is going to the Ukraine?

Once Russia cuts off the gas supply to Europe you will realize how pointless it was this military aid to ukraine. It's gonna be a long winter bernds.

Afaik the lane going from Crimea to Russia is still open. Only the railway and the Russia to Crimea lange were destroyed.

Guess it's time to gtfo then.

There have been many seethenings ons twitter's OSINTvermin related to Pelosi's visit onto Armenia. How dare US suggest they might defend a country that has historically aligned with Russia and Iran! We should have free hands in proceeding the genocide!

Unfortunately, it would seem that hačik lobby controls the Dems. Is American internal politics, in the end, just power struggle between kikes and hačiks?

There's more to this; Emerika is seeking to get a new attack pitbull in the region in Kurdistan.

Armenia is only a side piece.

According to the ISWNews field information from the Republic of Azerbaijan, the government and the army of this country are preparing to launch a large-scale military offensive against Armenia and occupy the areas of Syunik, Vayots Dzor and Gegharkunik provinces in the south of Armenia after September 27, i.e. after the anniversary of the start of the second Karabakh war. The main goal of Azerbaijan is to occupy the historical region of Zangezur, which now geographically corresponds to Syunik province of Armenia. According to the received information, it is very likely that the Azerbaijani army will start its military attacks after September 27 (the end of September or the beginning of October) with the focus on occupying the Zangezur region and connecting the main territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the Nakhchivan region.

 

During the last two weeks, the Azerbaijani army has sent troops and heavy military equipment to the borders of Armenia and these activities are still ongoing. In one of these cases, about 60 Azerbaijani military trucks have transferred and deployed a significant number of Azerbaijani military forces to Fuzuli area.The deployment of S300 air defense systems in Baku and its surroundings and the increase of air defense measures are observed in this region more than before.Also, the people who have just finished their military service have been re-called to the army, and soon a general call will be announced for a certain age range to introduce themselves to the army.On Turkey’s side, several thousands of troops have been prepared for a possible attack on Armenia from the west, and they will enter the war if necessary.All these cases and a series of other events show Azerbaijan’s serious intention for a large-scale military attack, and if nothing special happens, this attack will be carried out.Simultaneously with these activities, the US, British, and French embassies in Armenia have issued statements and maps asking their nationals not to travel to the mentioned areas. In the map published by the French Embassy, the possible areas of Azerbaijan’s operations in Armenia are clearly marked.

 

On September 24, Azerbaijan’s Defense Minister, Zakir Hasanov, officially announced in a statement that the country’s army may carry out further military operations against Armenia as they did between 12 and 14 September. Also, the military posts that were recently occupied by Azerbaijan in Armenia will receive supplies and equipment.In another move, Baku is hosting NATO’s OCC E&F training course from September 26. The Operational Capability Concept Evaluation and Feedback Programme (OCC E&F) is a multipurpose military mechanism designed to develop and establish closer operational relationships between NATO and potential contributor (here Azerbaijan) that are fully interoperable and capable of operating with NATO standards and procedures.
