After Bakhmut, Is Russia Still Advancing? Col Daniel Davis
It's over. The Russian Army has won. Their troops took control of the entire urban area of Bakhmut after 9 months of fighting. Western media is in denial, claims that Ukrainian has Bakhmut semi-encircled. Reports that fighting will shift towards Chasiv Yar.
Colonel Douglas MacGregor reveals the devastating truth about Ukraine's standing army, they've been obliterated. President Zelensky this weekend said there are long lines at Ukraine's recruitment centers but there is no evidence of that. Russia continues to decimate air defense across Ukraine ahead of a June offensive.
Bakhmut Battle: Russian strike destroys Ukraine Army's passageway; Wagner 'kills' U.S. mercenary
Russian Army's Battlegroup South has claimed that a large-caliber artillery strike on Bakhmut has left Ukrainian troops 'helpless'. This as the strike near Krosnoye, reportedly destroyed a passageway from where Ukraine would send reinforcements into Bakhmut. Meanwhile, the U.S. has responded to the claims by PMC Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, that an American mercenary was killed in the war-battered city of East Ukraine.

"Another confirmation emerged that some units of the AFU on the Bakhmut direction are using chemical weapons. The video was filmed, reportedly, by the commander of a separate air reconnaissance group called "Magyar's Birds".
[Yarem]
Magyar (Madyar) is Robert Iosifovich Brovdi (born Vladimir Ilyashevich Batsko). The footage shows Ukrainian fighters preparing small drones that are designed to drop very interesting homemade munitions, which are very likely to be equipped with chemical weapons.
They were handed over by a man with the call sign Shaman from the 63rd AFU omnibus brigade. On December 28, 2022, this unit was at the line between Opytne and Kleshchiivka, but later could have been redeployed to one of the directions in the city of Bakhmut.
The shells are homemade, thin-walled cylinders filled with some chemical. This is indicated by the weight marked on each shell, each around 700 grams. The head fuse looks less like an accumulated detonation device and more like a device for mixing or atomizing chemicals.
Well, and the main sign of chemical weapons is that the shells are stored in a refrigerator to prevent the thermal expansion of the substance, which would breach the shell's hermetic seal. Ordinary shells are not stored in a refrigerator.
In the Bakhmut direction, the AFU has already used chemical weapons, as a result of which Wagner fighters received chemical burns. By lucky coincidence, thank God, they survived.
And although the use of chemical warfare agents in the last few years has become associated with the fakes, mainly the "White Helmets" in Syria, the fact of chemical attacks by the AFU against Wagner units near Bakhmut is indisputable.
