Are you claiming that an assault to capture a town that began almost six months ago, can be considered a success?

The Russians had captured the outskirts of Bahkmut some weeks ago. House-to-house fighting is ongoing.

A road from Chasiv Var is still re-supplying Ukrainian forces who are still in possession of the majority of the Bahkmut. All attempts to capture Chasiiv Var have been repelled.

Zelensky has indicated the possibility of a Ukrainian retreat from Bahkmut.

In a previous post, TS dismissively predicted the imminent fall of Bahkmut would be described as a Pyrrhic victory by anti-Russian media. It most like will be. It will not be militarily decisive although it will be something of a propaganda success for Russia,
