(by Andrea Marinelli and Guido Olimpio) The stories focus on Bakhmut – almost surrounded by the Russians – and Vuhledar, a wagon graveyard. Two locations to the east that are the scene of incessant attacks, with positions in buildings and trenches. An unnamed Ukrainian officer (@tatarigami_UA) posted on Twitter graphics explaining the attacks of the invaders, the Wagner mercenaries and the “regulars”: lightly armed platoons, grenade launchers, anti-tank defenses deployed one after the other. In some sectors, they managed to pay a very high price, snatching a few meters from the defenders a day and forcing the enemy to consume an infinite number of “shots”. Vuhledar has flat terrain with little vegetation: the occupiers have braved minefields, precise artillery fire and positions. Formations of armored vehicles came under fire, sometimes with reckless tactics, repeated mistakes and, despite the obvious risks, ended up like bombs scattered everywhere. Expert Michael Kofman observed: There is nothing epic, but the obsessive repetition of a technique that is documented on video every day.
