After the retreat of the Russian army in Kherson, the focus of the battle between the Russian army and the Ukrainian army was Bakhmut, where they began a war like World War II. Because both sides have vast fortified areas here, it is very difficult to attack.

The Russian army used the Wagner Group to attack this area, and it was very difficult to advance only 100 meters a week. According to information from the front, the Russian army attacked in squads and platoons every day, and at night it was basically repulsed. Every day, the casualties accumulated were very large.

According to Ukrainian sources, hundreds of people are wounded every day on the Bakhmut battlefield. Some video that has been circulated shows stretchers covered with blood piled up, and the body armor unloaded by the wounded is soaked with blood. These shots show things that represent the heavy casualties on the battlefield of Bakhmut.

In general, the casualties on both sides are similar, and probably the situation in the entire Donbass.

Some people say that the Bakhmut battlefield is a meat grinder, and the reality may be similar.

Both sides have a well-developed defense system, and it is difficult to attack effectively. This area is the only area where the Russian army on the entire front has offensive capability, and the Russian army in other areas is on the defensive. However, the Russian army in Bakhmut is also in a state of “attack”, and the two sides are still in a stalemate.
