Ukrainian forces defending the salient, numbering at least in the tens of thousands (near 100,000) cannot leave or else the entire salient will collapse on them.

Bogdanivka has been liberated (past 4 hours)
Damn I was hoping that Bakhmut would be liberated this month
The advance in Bakhmut has been usually fast recently. From Krasna Hora to Yagidne, it’s been like 2 weeks (if even), which means that on average one town near Bakhmut was liberated in a period less than two days.
