It is noted that Russia managed to advance 29 kilometres in Bakhmut. But since May 2022, the Russian Federation has lost up to 60,000 people here.
Reminder:
High-ranking American officials said that Ukrainian forces met greater resistance from Russian troops than anticipated in their attempt to breach Russian linen in the vicinity of Bakhmut in recent days. Still, they appear to have made gains.
