By Cheong's account, the #counteroffensive that re-captured #Kherson was a failure, and #Bakhmut was a #Russian master plan to put #Ukrainians into a meat grinder. He's also called #Russia the underdog in the #war.

The #Ukrainian city of #Bakhmut was founded in the 16th century, was once a fortress, was active in salt mining, survived the plague in the 18th century, built factories in the 19th century, survived World War I and World War II, and developed in the 21st century.
Today, only #ruins remain of Bakhmut; the city is #dead.
#putin's propagandists describe the interruption of the city's five-hundred-year history and its destruction as "#liberation."
In the Toretsk area, drone operators from the 12th Special Operations Brigade "Azov" of the National Guard of Ukraine are using the new fully automated unmanned aerial system 'SETH' to strike Russian assets.

When he was wounded in fierce fighting near the eastern city of #Bakhmut in March last year, Ukrainian soldier Yevhenii #Korinets thought he was going to die.
The former military paramedic, whose left leg was amputated at the hip, qualified for the national sitting volleyball team and spoke during a break from training with fellow athletes ahead of the #Paralympics in #Paris which opened on Wednesday.

Those orcs who somehow miraculously survived the bloody assaults near #Bakhmut and #Soledar returned to their homeland. Naturally, neither prison nor war changed them, but on the contrary, they strengthened the idea that they could do anything.
It is difficult to calculate how many crimes they have committed in #Russia itself. Maybe hundreds, maybe thousands. The number of murders, rapes, robberies, and other crimes in the #Russian_Federation will only increase.
#Russia made minor advances near #Rozdolivka and #Vesele north of #Bakhmut, and near #Staromayorske west from #Vuhledar.
