British intelligence believed that Wagner fighters and the mobilized military of the Russian Federation were not trained to conduct effective urban battles.
The “Wagnerites” and the mobilized military of the Russian Federation will have problems conducting urban battles in Bakhmut. About that saying goodbye British Ministry of Defense on December 21.
Over the past week, Russian and Wagner military forces have made some progress on the eastern outskirts of the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region, according to a British intelligence report. Russian infantry appeared to have entrenched themselves in the eastern industrial districts of the city, and in some places had advanced into residential areas of the city. A street fight continues there.
It was noted that heavy fighting in the Bakhmut sector has been ongoing since June 2022, but the front line took place mainly in open areas around the eastern approaches to the city. Since the Russian advance on Lisichansk and Severodonetsk in July 2022, there have been no prolonged large-scale battles in populated war zones.
“Since urban combat requires highly trained infantry with good leadership at a junior level, this type of combat is unlikely to suit the less trained Wagner fighters and the mobilized reservists of the Russian army,” the British Ministry of Defense said.
