Russia has spent so much time, manpower and resources on Bakhmut, and yet, in the end, they may not even be able to take it.
This assault on that area looks like an act of desperation to me, they know they are screwed and just tried to gain some ground before it all goes to shit.

More desperation from Putin. Would love to see an uprising in Belarus and Lukashenko disposed of or overthrown.

Here is a video from Bakhmut city. Definitely worth watching.
Finland has joined the NATO alliance, dealing a major blow to Russia. The move reflects a historic realignment in Europe triggered by Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.
They joined even without Sweden in the end. Now we need to wait until Erdogan gets his money, so Sweden can join too.
In any case, Putin is still the best salesman for NATO. Thanks to him and his actions, NATO is getting stronger and stronger.

I imagine the Sweden application will wait until after the Turkish elections.
Me too, could be possible that the leaked documents were meant to be leaked.
