General Wesley Clark Ukrainians walked into Russian trap

If Russian troops take Bahamut, Putin will win!

G. Clark went on to say:

Russian units are putting heavy pressure on the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut. 

The Russians are suffocating them, making them bleed

And if the Ukrainian side calls for a ceasefire before their forces are reinforced from Kherson, Putin will win.

If they take Bakhmut, then that will open the door to Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, but it will also serve as a kind of springboard to wipe out the Ukrainian forces.

The Ukrainians dug in, held, but suffered heavy losses.

The place has turned into a meat grinder! said the American General.

Earlier, the deputy head of Donetsk, Denis Pushilin, said that Russian units are preparing to encircle Bakhmut (Artemovsk).

In the last few hours, Kiev has sent new formations into the city to reinforce its positions against the background of the high number of casualties.
