on Saturday,"The Russians have been trying to overrun Bakhmut, a small town, for nearly seven months and have yet to succeed despite a massive advantage in soldiers and firepower."
Menon continued:"They have suffered heavy losses and have also largely shelled the town [to] ruin. So although Bakhmut may well fall given the creeping Russian encirclement, that outcome will be a Pyrrhic victory for Russia. And it won't open the road to rapid advances deeper into Donetsk province." "Ukraine has had abundant time to prepare multiple defense lines beyond Bakhmut, and cities like Kramatorsk are much bigger," he said.
