Ukrainian troops are continuing to fight in the besieged city of Bakhmut, inflicting a high casualty count among Russian forces.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with military leaders on Monday, according to a readout from his office. Military leaders advised the president they should continue the defensive operations in Bakhmut and should work to strengthen their position in the city.The fighting in Bakhmut, a city with a prewar population of roughly 70,000 people, has gone on for months, leaving both sides suffering devastating casualties, while Russia has made incremental progress in recent weeks.
Should Russian forces take the city,"they could then attempt renewed pushes towards one or both of Kostyantynivka or Slovyansk but would struggle with endemic personnel and equipment constraints."
