❗️The Commander of the Land Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Syrsky stated that the RF will not give up hope of taking Bakhmut, despite the losses in manpower and equipment. He added that they will soon take advantage of this opportunity, as they have done in the past near Kyiv, Kharkiv, Balakliya and Kupyansk.

I hope he keeps trying. The Russian army has lost so many men trying to take Bakhmut that any large offensive is impossible.
And

BAKHMUT STANDS UNDEFEATED
