According to the Ukrainian leader himself, Russia’s potential control of Artyomovsk/“Bakhmut” would immediately enable it to launch a follow-up offensive against Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, but his side might still abandon it if casualties keep mounting. This obvious military insight, which even armchair generals were aware of just by looking at the map, discredits the West’s perception managers who hitherto insisted that Russia was supposedly “wasting” its forces by throwing them into a so-called “meat grinder” over a “completely unimportant” city purely for President Putin’s prestige.
