Michael Kafman, Director of the Russian Research Department at the Navy Center, stated that the results of Bakhmut's battle were too early to judge. According to the unnamed Ukrainian military, the decision of the command to cling to Bakhmut, fighting for each street, allowed the Russian forces and prevent the offenses of the invaders in other areas. However, the battle is very difficult. "It's a real hell. I have never seen anything like this in this war," he said.
The publication writes that Ukraine has used a lot of effort to protect Bakhmut. Both sides of the conflict have suffered great losses. However, the Ukrainian command did not use the forces that are preparing for a counter -offensive. But Wagner PVC, which participated in most battles for the city, suffered tremendous losses and weakened greatly. "The most important thing that Ukraine has achieved (in Bakhmut - Ed.
) Is what we managed to demand the Russians," said Mykola Belleskov, a researcher at the Kiev National Institute for Strategic Studies. According to one of the Ukrainian commanders in Bakhmut, the Russians continued to step, equalizing each building with the land. "They continued to press, and we continued to destroy them," he said. We will remind that on May 22 the soldiers of the Armed Forces showed the destroyed Bakhmut.
