By most estimates it seems that more than 50,000 Ukrainian troops have died in this city alone over the past 8 months. One year ago in history on this date, Mariupol, the birthplace of Azov Nazism, was liberated as well. @shrike502@Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml it seems that Prigozhin’s random diatribes about “running out of ammo” turned out to be some wild psyop after all, I wonder what was happening

    Reddit is still in complete denial because the Ukrainian government refuses to accept the loss of Bakhmut. We’ll see how long it takes for Ukraine to accept defeat, and how much (probably a long time) it takes for Reddit to follow.

      It will be denied until it’s no longer relevant, and when you bring it up in 3 months no one will remember the name or significance

      Zelensky himself when asked this morning if Ukraine holds Bakhmut answered “I don’t think so”.

      Not just in denial, the headline there is that Bakhmut is in semi-encirclement. Literally delusional
