I agree that the Belgorod operation has greater implications than Bakhmut, for both nations. However, in terms of losses, Bakhmut was epic. And, it’s hoped by many that there will be bigger operations inside of mafia land. It is possible and there are great achievements to be expected.
Its been reported lately that the Moskali are leaving border towns….just after deploying orcs there. I guess they got a whiff of the UA Special Forces showing up. Ah, that meat grinder smell is not exactly inviting…..
More town for the Russian freedom fighters to occupy I guess.
Slava Ukraini~~!!!!
The more insecure and uninviting the AFU makes the mafia border regions, the better.
