I don't know how true this is,but,apparently,In the Bakhmut area the Russians have 2 "Anti Retreat" lines.
Basically convicts are forced to attack Bakhmut,and any retreating are shot by mobilized troops.
In turn,any mobilized troops retreating are shot by Chechens.
Dunno if anyone can confirm this?

Slava Ukraini.

this a good old soviet 'zagrad otryad'.

According to Fedir Venislavsky, a member of the Ukrainian parliament's committee on national security and defence, the Russian Ground Forces used Chechen troops from the 141st Special Motorized Regiment during the 2022 invasion of Ukraine as barrier troops to shoot deserters who tried to leave combat zones.[15][16] In October 2022, Ukrainian intelligence published a purported phone call where a Russian soldier described both his task of killing inmates recruited from prisons by the Wagner Group if they were retreating and how he would be killed by others if he himself retreated.[17] In November, the British Ministry of Defence assessed that Russia was using blocking units.[18]

Think Ukrainian forces have broke through Russian defence lines,about 6km South of Bakhmut.
In between Klishchiivka and Opytne.
Forgot to mention,Ukrainian Special Forces arrived in Bakhmut yesterday......maybe a push out of Bakhmut is on the cards?

Russia’s Former Deputy Prime Minister and ex-head of Roskosmos Dmitry Rogozin was wounded in a shelling attack on a hotel in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Donetsk, his aide said accusing Ukraine of the attack, according to the Russian news agency Interfax.

A Russian-run Donetsk-related Telegram channel noted that Rogozin was celebrating his birthday at the Shesh-Besh restaurant that came under fire, and added that the so-called “DNR government head” Vitaly Khotsenko was also injured in the incident “on the left side of his back. He refused hospitalization after receiving first aid.”

Meanwhile, the Russian Telegram channel Baza claims that Rogozin “received a shrapnel wound to the soft tissues of his head, a penetrating shrapnel wound to his buttocks, and a penetrating shrapnel wound to the left thigh. According to updated data, in total, 2 people were killed during the shelling of the restaurant, and 5 more were injured.”

Dmitry Rogozin was Russia’s vice prime minister (2011-2018), then the head of the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos (2018-2022) until the summer of 2022. In November 2022 he claimed that he was running a “military adviser group” providing “military-technical support” to Russia’s locally formed colonial troops in occupied Luhansk and Donetsk.

Only opinion mate,but I am....I think they will continue to have a go,but not on the scale they have been.
They are being pushed away at the minute,and troops are refusing to fight in their droves.

after months of human wave attacks losing almost 60 000 dead and wounded gaining some area in the east of the town and immediately being thrown out one could sense something refusing in the air ;)
