Ukraine's troops are wearing down Russia's occupying forces near Bakhmut, according to Russian military and pro-war bloggers, as a combination of Western artillery and poor Russian leadership take their toll.
“If I wrote this right away, then there would probably be a lot of swearing,” one Russian officer wrote in a lengthy social media post spotlighted by the War Translated Project. “And so, the enemy is successful south of Bakhmut. Due to what reasons? The first and main reason is the loss of combat capability of units in the area.
“The new brigades have not been successful,” Carnegie Endowment for International Peace senior fellow Michael Kofman, who returned recently from his third research trip to Ukraine, told War on the Rocks in a podcast released Thursday. “By and large, experienced units allocated to this offensive, and the more experienced brigades fighting in Bakhmut, have consistently done and performed better without Western equipment than the Western-trained brigades.
“It's a much smarter and more efficacious option, at least right now, for this war, to better enable Ukrainian military to fight the way it knows how to and to play to its advantages and strengths,” Kofman said. His account offers a battlefield rationale for the Russian State Duma’s recent move to expand the age range of Russians eligible for conscription.
