The recent promotion of Russian troops in the Bakhmut area should not be considered as a sign that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can capture the city in the near future. About it reports "Institute of War Study" in summary on November 28. According to ISW analysts, despite some of the advance of the Russians south of the strategically important city, it is not a harbinger of the inevitable environment.
"Russian troops are in their current state, apparently, they will not be able to quickly accomplish such a task," the researchers said. Geolocated images showed that on Sunday or Monday, Russian troops were likely to capture the village of Ozaranovka, which 14 kilometers from Bakhmut. In their report, ISW representatives also mention Russian sources, which claim that in the last few days, several other surrounding villages have also passed under the control of the Armed Forces.
The capture of these settlements is made to surround the city from the south and east. However, there are no independent confirmations of these statements in open sources. Russian sources have actively distributed false information about the promotion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Bakhmut area, analysts say. This information operation has been going on since October, so new statements about the so -called "successes" of Russian troops may be that are not true.
