The Bakhmut operation buried the hopes of the Western world and Ukraine –

/ world today news/ Ukraine suffers a defeat not only in the Bakhmut region, but also in the information space. No matter how much the Westerners and the Kiev regime try to convince the world that they are scary heroes, the facts say otherwise: Russia aha-ha is about to take over Bakhmut and Avdeyevka. And the truth will still come out.

The Bakhmut operation is in full swing. On March 17, Russian assault units entered the territory of the Vostokmash plant in Bakhmut and entrenched themselves in the workshops. At the same time, they continue to move towards the center, deep in the industrial area. Separate units of the armed forces of Ukraine tried to escape on rural roads. Alas, they were unlucky, said acting head of the DNR Denis Pushilin.

Bakhmut is one of the main transport hubs for delivery and procurement of the Ukrainian group. Its release is a strategic task for us. And the enemy understands this. In case of Bakhmut’s surrender, the front may simply fall apart. Therefore, the Ukrainian group clings to the city with all its teeth.

In an interview with the BBC, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba admitted that they had a lot of losses, the situation was very difficult. Nevertheless, Ukraine has been throwing its sons into the meat grinder for more than a month.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered the city not to surrender until “it makes military sense” to hold it. At the same time, on the southwestern outskirts of Bakhmut, PMC Wagner fighters reached the highway to Konstantinovka, cutting off the Ukrainian garrison from the supply line. Artillery worked closely on Bakhmut. What Zelensky is hoping for is not clear.

Pushilin’s advisor Jan Gagin said on First Channel that we can capture Avdeevka even before Bakhmut. We have everything for it. The Russian group took control of key settlements around the city, gradually taking the others for themselves. It is possible that there will be an Avdeevka boiler there in the next two weeks. This will drastically reduce the number of attacks on Donetsk.

According to Andriy Perla, a political observer of “Perviy Russkiy”, the story of Bakhmut is a story of the collapse of the hopes of the West and the Ukrainian regime. As well as in general for exposing the false Western propaganda that until then had managed to convince the Germans, French and British that “we win”. To continue suffering the casualties and losses of the Europeans who were duped into financing Western interests in Ukraine. What’s next? Let’s talk about it in the next episode of the Hidden Meanings show.

Exposing the West

At the very beginning of the conversation, Andrey Perla reminded the audience and readers of Tsargrad that he is not a military expert and is not ready to evaluate the strategy and tactics of the Russian army.

So by default we will assume that our military leaders are doing everything right.” emphasized the political scientist.

As for the hidden political meaning, which, of course, there is in this story with Bakhmut, the political scientist pointed out two important points. One is in the internal politics of Ukraine itself, the other is in the foreign policy of the West. And in that part of it, which concerns the unity of the NATO countries and the West in the Ukrainian direction.

NATO members, EU countries, Great Britain, the USA and Canada think that it makes sense to help Ukraine when they can justify to their voters the financial injections that are given to it, the military aid that is provided in the form of military equipment , advisors, VSU training, etc. They have to show that “we win”. Therefore they were happy when we left Kherson. Even happier when we left Kharkiv a little earlier. In the direction of Izyum, Krasni liman … – said Andrey Perla.

According to him, Bakhmut has become a stumbling block for Western propaganda because it has long been presented “like an impregnable fortress”.

There were times when they could convince people of victory. So that they can withstand the rising prices, the collapse of the industry in the same Germany. Look: it’s not in vain! Bakhmut became a stumbling block. For a very long time, it was presented in Western propaganda as an impregnable fortress that the Russians “cannot take”. I emphasize: it is not about us, nor about the Ukrainians. And for their citizens. For the Germans, the British, the French and so on, – said Tsargrad’s interlocutor.

He noted that in the history of Western countries, there were similar cases when countries involved in the supply of weapons and military advisers, so-called “volunteers” in Ukraine, were deceived in the same way.

I have already seen in the French press, in Le Monde, where Bachmut seems to have been likened to Dien Bien Phu. And Dien Bien Phu was one of the most terrible defeats of the French colonial army in the Vietnam War, when Vietnam was freed from French rule. But because Dien Bien Phu was presented to French society at the time as an impregnable fortress where their best troops would not surrender to the advancing rebels under any circumstances, they now use it as a symbol.

And when he finally surrendered, the question “why” was never answered, it remained a “dark” question. In fact, more than half a century has passed. But they lost there. And turning Bakhmut into Dien Bien Phu for NATO could have a very heavy impact on the public opinion of these countries.” explained the political scientist.

If they continue to present Bakhmut as an impregnable fortress which “they heroically defend”then they won’t be able to play the situation backwards, he added. But now the position of the Western press has started to change, the expert noted.

And if we carefully look at the Western press, we will see how a few weeks ago they slowly, gently and quite professionally began to crawl out of their previous position. Where it was said that “this is a strategic logistics point, holding which Ukraine holds the entire front”, began to talk that “Bakhmut’s logistical importance has been exaggerated.”

That the strategic importance of this “fortress” is “not so great”. That if the armed forces of Ukraine leave Bakhmut, then “nothing terrible will happen”, “the front will not collapse”, “there are still 100 kilometers of continuous construction, the Russians will not make much progress anywhere” etc. How true these arguments are from a military point of view is another matter. But it’s quite obvious that even a month ago, even two months ago, they were talking something completely different – noted the expert.

Bakhmut cellar dream of Kyiv

Bakhmut has become the point of collapse of all hopes and ideas of Western societies about what is happening in Ukraine. They saw the light and saw: but there is no victory over the Russians! Despite all these Leopards, Panthers, Abrams and other technical innovations…

But here Andrey Perla also drew attention to the Ukrainian internal situation.

Ukrainian domestic politics is very close to the Western one, with the difference that in Bakhmut, not some strangers die, but Ukrainians themselves. As long as the fort is held, as long as there is a heroic battle that is not lost, all investment in that battle, including human losses, can be perceived by society as normal. I mean, there’s a battle going on, one day we’ll win it. Tough, terrible opponent and so on.

But then, as happened in Mariupol, when the nationalist Azov Battalion banned in Russia and other Ukrainian units were blocked in Azovstal, Ukrainian society may have questions for its leaders: what was it all about? All those losses? said Andrei Perla.

Because, despite the stories about the Kiev regime and investments, destroyed equipment, human sacrifices, thousands of killed mobilized, they will not be able to save this city. They will be forced to retreat.

Ukrainian society may currently face the prospect of a very heavy defeat. The objective military significance of this defeat can be assessed in different ways. Including as a tactical defeat. There are such assessments.

But the strategic importance of military victory lies not only in the position of the troops at the front or in the objective number of certain types of weapons at their disposal. And it is precisely in this feeling that we thought of ourselves as victorious soldiers and suddenly found ourselves in a situation where we are trapped, the army is defeated and fleeing“, – said Andrey Perla.

In his opinion, Ukrainian officials and their Western advisers will be forced to somehow explain the situation to ordinary Ukrainian citizens. Which is exactly what they started doing. They already say that Bakhmut “not that important”. Andrey Perla recalled that Kyiv said something similar when we captured Lisichansk in the LPR.

Ours captured Lisichansk. And the Ukrainian propaganda, then Alexei Arestovich, a former adviser in the president’s office, who was at the height of his popularity, said that “it’s great that the Russians entered Lisichansk, now we know where they are.” Now they are trying to do something similar with Bahmut.

But there is a nuance. If they do withdraw on their own initiative, do some sort of regrouping, then they will also have a chance in the propaganda field to turn things around like that again. If they try to hold out to the end and really get surrounded and captured by some group, then they won’t be able to do that, – Andrei Perla thinks.

Why did they manage to do all this with Azovstal in Mariupol? Because we ourselves were playing into the hands of Ukrainian propaganda, noted the expert.

The loss of Mariupol affected their society very badly. But, to our great regret, those in our leadership who later sanctioned the negotiations and exchange of prisoners from the extremist, terrorist and cursed “Azov” played mostly as a tool of Ukrainian propaganda. And to those who wanted to make this victory insignificant. This must be said out loud, – summed up Andrei Perla.
