Bakhmut... You can agree or disagree, but in my opinion it is Bakhmut that will be the

city that will deplete the Russian occupation forces' supply of artillery ammunition.

The Russian invaders are so desperately trying to

occupy this city that it seems that the entire barrage of fire is there.

The concentration of artillery in this narrow direction will have serious consequences for

the Russian troops, namely the depletion of the warehouses to the level of unusable ammunition,

with all the consequences. As a bonus, the units would be exsanguinated.

As a result, Russian troops are now hammering a nail into their coffin near Bakhmut.

Ineptly, persistent, desperate.

Next - counting only on their own production from the first quarter of 2023. And its own

production is from 1 to 1.5 million artillery shots of one or another caliber per year.

That is, solely counting on its domestic production Russia can provide an average of

2.5 to 4 thousand shots per day, which is 5 to 9 times less than today’s potential.

Not forgetting the logistics and problematic delivery.

And this is not to mention the fact that there is a colossal wear and tear of the already exhausted

resource of the barrels, as well as destroyed in the artillery duels of the Russian artillery.

If Bakhmut is not the nail in the coffin of Russian artillery potential, then what?

I was asked in November whether the fighting would cease in winter, to which I replied no.

Because in winter fighting, the one who is better prepared for winter wins, and the AFU

has been preparing since September, while the Russian forces have been preparing - as usual.

And here are the first examples of the occupation troops preparing for winter...

So, in Lugansk in recent days there is a strong frost, and even at severe gusts of wind.

As a result, by the end of this week the Lugansk Regional Hospital was clogged with

wounded. Only they are not dominated by shrapnel or bullet wounds, but by frostbite of the limbs.

Frostbite is now becoming the main cause of sanitary casualties. And this is just

the beginning of winter, there will be hellish nights and days ahead,

when the temperature drops below 20 degrees Celsius.

What is interesting is that convicts of the Wagner group are kept separately from

the newly mobilized and are sent either to Alchevsk or Novosvetlovka at once.

In most cases, frostbitten limbs are simply amputated,

because it is impossible to provide professional treatment at the Luhansk regional hospital.

The winter will be cold, not all of them will return to their warm homes.

Or rather, few will return, at least on their own two feet.
