Ukrainian Hub Directs Soldiers to Victory in Bakhmut

Ukrainian soldiers, directed by a high-tech command center hidden in an unmarked building, have turned the tide against Russian troops trying to encircle and capture the city of Bakhmut. The Russian assaults have slowed, and the imminent threat of encirclement has been thwarted. Fresh Ukrainian attack brigades are completing training, and if the Ukrainians hold their recent gains, the battles of the last month at Bakhmut could prove a turning point in Ukraine’s defense against Russia. However, the center of Bakhmut remains a hot spot where Russian troops are still attacking with significant force.
