The Ongoing Battle for Bakhmut: Updates and Tactics.

Ukrainian forces are still fighting back against Russian forces in the outskirts of Bakhmut, despite the city falling into Russian hands last month. The pushback could complicate Moscow's plans for the region and any Ukrainian action that loosens Russia's grip on the city would be a major military and political embarrassment for the Kremlin. The battle for the city could still have a lingering impact as Moscow has made the most of its capture, epitomized by triumphalism in Russian media.
