Neighbor is holding like 11% of the city and losing every day streets. Neighbor even decided to scale down supposedly southern counter offensive by trying to save backhmut, he send 3/6 new brigades that were created for offensive and equipped with western weapons to backhmut front (all leopards are in area near Seversk). This is already a L for Biden because in best case scenario he would be able to sell “hey look everything we send to Ukraine archives that it stalled Russian in bakhmut” that won’t increase support for Ukraine.
