As the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine approaches, Russian forces are under increasing political pressure.
“Probably, Russia will claim to have captured Bakhmut on the anniversary, regardless of the reality on the ground. If the Russian spring offensive does nothing, then tensions within the Russian leadership are likely to rise,” the British military summed up.
Earlier, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said that the enemy is trying to take control of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region on February 24, while the Russian Federation lives by the dates.
