For all the Russophiles celebrating Russia's minor and strategically worthless gains in Bakhmut, Ukraine has make significant progress in the Kherson region, which threatens to split Russian occupied territories into two chunks.
Good job celebrating incompetence.
The imminent capture of Bakhmut is far from worthless. Not only is it important as a foothold for the remaining part of the Donbass, but it also served its purpose of being a meat grinder tearing through Ukrainian reserves to the point that Ukraine is now on it's third army.
With regards to Ukrainian Advances in Kherson; A very bold move indeed! Most of the tiny parchment of land they have taken is no man's land / swamps where heavy equipment can't be placed. When the time comes, a salvo of a few TOS-1A will clear the advance.
Let's see how it pans out over the next couple of weeks.
