  Russia couldn’t win in Bakmut so they need a new “poster contest battlefield” to win on for propaganda purposes back home.  Expect less and less rational attacks by Russia as they attempt to take any land at all and rationalize why it’s so important later.
  For fuck’s sake - they’re fighting over a salt mine.  They’re seriously trying to convince Russians at home that a war against a salt mine in Ukraine is integral to eliminating the Ukrainian threat to Russia somehow.  It’s complete fallacy and delusion.
context: What's that twitter user's source though? >
  
  Most of it is found on telegram channels run by both pro Ukraine users and pro Russian users, including on the ground soldiers who post updates when they shouldnt. Then you have the official sources like ISW, Ukraine and Russian releases. On top of that you have people who have nothing better to do but look at every source available and compile it into easy to digest rough estimates of the battle lines and that's what usually gets posted to Twitter and Reddit. 
  It's never going to be exact and things can change in an hour but it's probably the best you can get. The official sources almost always lag behind so a lot of people just go off recent combat footage and look for landmarks to confirm, and if you've ever seen some of the best players of geoguesser I wouldn't doubt that they are getting it spot on most of the time. >
  
  Internal information in chain of command linked to that area should have that information.
  And, will do was is necessary to not communicate it in real time nor fully after delay.
  Enemy could identify how information travel and how they react to it.
  As simple civilians, we should just "wait and see". >
  
  Yeah you are right. Official information lags behind for a very good reason, but with the amount of footage that this war has produced and does produce every day the followers of the conflict have a fairly good grasp on what is happening on the ground day by day. But with all of it it is just a wait and see until anything is confirmed. >
  
  Headline doesn't match the content.
  "Donetsk governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said the situation in the town was "difficult" and that Russian troops were advancing from various directions, adding that the Russians had sustained a large number of casualties, including members of the Wagner mercenary group."
  The right one would be something like "Ukrainian and Russian troops are still fighting in Soledar"
