Ukraine military may pull back from Bakhmut, official says amid heavy fighting

Ukraine’s military could pull back from the key eastern stronghold of Bakhmut, an adviser to the Ukrainian president said Wednesday, amid a relentless Russian offensive that has sought for months to capture the city.

"Our military is obviously going to weigh all of the options. So far, they’ve held the city, but if need be, they will strategically pull back," Alexander Rodnyansky, an economic adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, told CNN. "We’re not going to sacrifice all of our people just for nothing."

The battle for Bakhmut, in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance as defenders hold out against relentless shelling and waves of Russian troops taking heavy casualties in a months-long campaign to capture it.

Not yet. They haven’t slaughtered enough Wagner Katsaps yet. Theyre taking turns having fun and for many their first taste of blood. There are 30,000 UFA soldiers waiting 15km from Bakhmut. The urban combat experience gained by the 30,000 on roration is priceless.
