Suddenly Putin fears for his most important victory



For several weeks, Ukrainian forces had been fighting fiercely for the liberation of the small village of Klishchiyivka — with success! The village fell shortly after the Ukrainian troops were able to liberate the neighboring village of Andriivka after fierce fighting.
These are not large villages — but because of their location, the two villages are very important for the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army. After all, both are important staging posts for targeting Bachmut.

The town that Russian propaganda has so far celebrated as its greatest victory in the Ukrainian war.
As a reminder, the Russian invaders fought for almost a year to take Bachmut, and the mercenary Wagner troops’ tactics of sending in masses of inexperienced fighters in waves resulted in casualties in the high five figures.
In Kremlin propaganda, Bachmut was repeatedly highlighted because it was the only significant success of the Russian invaders in many months — in a campaign whose goal was actually the capture of the capital Kiev within three days.
