Ukrainian troops on Thursday advanced near Bakhmut as part of its counteroffensive, according to the latest assessment by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW)

The U.S.-based think tank said that "Ukrainian forces have seized the tactical initiative and made tactically significant gains" around Bakhmut, a city in eastern Ukraine in the Donetsk region and the site of a months-long battle between Ukrainian and Russian troops.

Russian military bloggers, cited by ISW, said that Ukrainian troops "drove through" the Russian defensive lines south and southwest of Ivanivske and northwest of Klischiivka. They also said Russian forces withdrew from north of Sakko i Vantsetti, around nine miles north of Bakhmut. The forces moved to new positions south of the settlement

Wagner says regular Russian troops are abandoning the city's flanks.

It was only a kilometer but how many resources did Ukraine have to spend to get it?

You're Rightwing, Putin-loving friends spent decades blustering that any price is worth paying for freedom and sovereignty.

Unless you are praying for Putin to win the war, why would you deny that same right to fight for one's homeland to Ukranians?
