Russia likely planning to encircle Donetsk Oblast town of Bakhmut, Britain says

MOSCOW, 04 December 2022, (TON): Russia is likely planning to encircle the Donetsk Oblast town of Bakhmut with tactical advances to the north and south, Britain’s defense ministry said on Saturday.

The capture of the town would have limited operational value but it can potentially allow Russia to threaten Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, the ministry added in a daily intelligence update.

The ministry said “there is a realistic possibility that Bakhmut’s capture has become primarily a symbolic, political objective for Russia.”
