What does “under fire control” mean exactly? That seems like an odd caveat.
In my understanding, it means 'The enemy is trapped inside the city, while we remain out of their firing range '. AFU have surrounded Bakhmut & controls any movement in and out of the city, including reinforcements, resources, etc.
So we have a small Stalingrad now? Sweet. I hope it works out for the Ukrainians.
This is amazing work by the AFU.
Slava Ukraini!
It wouldn't surprise me if the Russian generals shovelled thousands of conscripts into Bakhmut out of sheer desperation to keep their 'prize' in the face of encirclement.
They're apparently sending in the tiktok army. Maybe Putin just wants to end any threat from PMCs. Prigozhin had him running for the hill.
It would be one way to get rid of them, assuming they don't run away if they realise it's a trap. Although I wonder what would happen to Chechnya if Kadyrov and his thugs died. Would the Chechens remain rebel at some point?
