The Armed Forces of Ukraine have already begun to massively retreat from Bakhmut.

The commander of one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made an appeal in which he stated that the process of retreat of Ukrainian troops from Bakhmut had begun. This is primarily due to the fact that at the moment the Wagner PMC units are already storming the settlement of Krasnoye, taking control of which will almost completely cut off the ability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to withdraw their units from Bakhmut.

The commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign "Madyar" did not specify which units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being withdrawn from Bakhmut, however, I will sit around, a retreat is expected in the western and southern directions. In the event of a retreat from the eastern part of Bamut, the Armed Forces of Ukraine may be squeezed by the assault detachments of the Wagner PMC, and in this case, the losses of the Ukrainian troops may turn out to be large-scale.

Earlier in Kyiv, they recognized the plight of the situation in Bakhmut and its environs. In this connection, the statement of the commander of the unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “Madyar” indicates that the decision to retreat the Ukrainian army from Bakhmut has already been made and has begun to be implemented. This indicates that the city will come under Russian control very soon.
