President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky explained why the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not leave Bakhmut.
From a strategic point of view, Bakhmut is not very important, since the invaders completely destroyed the city with their artillery, the President of Ukraine said at a press conference in the UK on February 8. “But if they accept Bakhmut, they will want to go further. This will give them an advantage. The question is, what will happen after Bakhmut?
Rakurs reported that Ukraine retains the ability to continue to supply food and ammunition to several thousand soldiers within Bakhmut.
The battle for Bakhmut is entering a decisive phase: the Russian troops managed to gain a foothold in the north, south and east of the city. However, the Russian army is meeting stubborn resistance from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, writes BILD military expert Julian Repke.
Reinforced with new units, the Ukrainian army managed to repel units in the area of Stupki station. In the southwest of the city, they also prevented an attempt by the Russian army to cut the penultimate connecting road to the city. If the Wagner mercenaries and the Russian infantry had succeeded in seizing the road, Bakhmut would probably have been surrounded.
