[ Bakhmut Offensive ] Bigger & more aggressive pincer developing ard Bakhmut City | Updated Analysis

#War #Military #UkraineWar #Russia #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar #RussianInvasion #UkraineRussianWar #RussianUkrainianWar

Update from Bakhmut Front: With the developing situation and realities on the ground, particularly on the breakthrough west of Blahodatne and fighting reported near Chasiv Yar, west of Ivanivske - they might be targeting a bigger pincer movement that we had previously anticipated
If Ukrainian lines breaks at Orikhovo-Vasylivka / Dubovo-Vasylivka, the entire NW retreat routes through the farmlands in the event of the loss of the final safe route out of Bakhmut City via Khromove will be threatened.
And if the Russians indeed advancing from west of Ivanivske all the way to east of Chasiv Yar to control that final road - this could very well spell a massive operational encirclement if a huge amount of troops that is currently holding the lines in Bakhmut and towns north of it
