2/ These officials’ statements indicate that Ukrainian forces withdrew from the remaining areas in #Bakhmut except those adjacent to the two highways into the city. isw.pub/UkrWar052123
3/ Geolocated footage published on May 21 showed #WagnerGroup forces raising #Russian and #Wagner flags over a residential building in westernmost #Bakhmut.
4/ The #WagnerGroup’s likely capture of the last remaining small area of western #Bakhmut does not impact ongoing #Ukrainian counterattacks north or south of Bakhmut...
5/ ...nor does it impact #Ukrainian control over the ground lines of communications (GLOCs) around #Bakhmut that exhausted #Wagner forces would need to reach in order to conduct further offensive operations.
6/ Russian forces will likely need additional reinforcements to hold #Bakhmut City and its flanks at the expense of operations in other directions. isw.pub/UkrWar052123
