The head of the German Defense Ministry’s operational headquarters, Nico Lange, called the loss of Bakhmut a “great success” for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. On his Twitter page, the official gave Ukrainian troops credit for resisting in the city for more than six months.
The fact that Ukraine in Bakhmut was able to inflict heavy losses on the Wagner Group for more than six months is a success for Kyiv.
said Lange.
Moreover, the representative of the Ministry of Defense believes that Bakhmut’s strategic take “will not change anything”.
Strategically, the complete capture of Bakhmut will not change anything. Ukraine will continue to defend in well-established positions a little to the west and at the same time could even cause trouble for the Russians on the flanks
- concluded the head of the operational headquarters.
The German Ministry of Defense finds an echo in Poland. Gazeta.pl, citing the Institute for the Study of War, said Bakhmut’s capture has “no strategic or tactical significance”.
The acquisition does not give Russian forces an operationally significant territory to continue offensive operations, nor a particularly strong position to defend against the Ukrainians.
- says the newspaper.
On the eve of Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said that Russian units failed to surround Bakhmut. Moreover, according to her, the Russian army lost part of the dominant heights around the city.
