pretty much everyone on the pro-Ukraine side of twitter has been saying that Wagner finished taking the last bit of the city in the southwest in the last day or 2.
Prigozhin declared mission accomplished & said he's pulling Wagner out of the city soon, so if any counter-offensive hits, it won't be his fault for losing the city.
Have you actually looked at the maps? Even the most pro ukie ones show there's literally no "encirclement" and they've lost the city. It's literally Soledar all over again with how much cope is being made right now.
"Ukraine is counterattacking along the flanks"
"Ukraine is encircling the city" <- You are here
"A countattack will definitely happen once Wagner leaves, they are just waiting"
"The city is worthless anyway, a strategic retreat was needed, the forces are needed elsewhere"
I have to admit that I haven't recently, I stopped giving a shit about this whole conflict over a year ago - but that's beside the point. My comment was a reaction to dekachin's "pretty much everyone on the pro-Ukraine side..." thing, I just offered a counterpoint.
Gotcha. I just find it funny that yesterday they were like "Yes the city is fallen" to today being like "The entire Russian army is being encircled rn" and "Don't worry guys, Steiner IS coming and will save the day".
Idk what you mean by "misleading reports"

Uh huh, that's fascinating, because I've read an article about how "Bakhmut stands" and how "UAF are currently encircling the city" like 6 hours ago.
