Bakhmut is part of a well fortified defense line. Just north of the city are 125 miles of salt mines which are key to their defenses. The Ukraine has been replacing brigades after they suffer 70% losses. 2 days ago a Ukrainian commander told his mechanized brigade to leave Soledar quietly in the night. Since their departure, Russians have increased their attacks. It might be possible to control their supply lines with Russian artillery fire. It is possible that Donbass might collapse in 2 weeks.
Dima from the Military Summary channel said Russia could invade, bypass the city Kharkov and go south to a position between the Donbass frontline and their re-supply centers from Pokrvosk to Kramatorsk. Pokrvosk is in the south as maybe a breakthrough column of soldiers would go from the Donbass. The Russians have 25,000 air cavalry soldiers in the area who could be used to help solidify a position.
Once the Donbass is cut off from food, diesel and ammunition, they will surrender.
There are 40,000 NATO soldiers in the Ukraine. Some have died. Many could be easily captured after a Big Push invasion.
War should be over soon enough.
Questions should abound over money laundering, bribes to US politicians and NATO weapons supposedly sent to the Ukraine but wound up in Africa in the hands of extremists trying to take an African gold mine. This would only benefit Neo-colonialists.
