There is a Bakhmut update today from Dima's Military Summary Channel. Bakhmut discussion starts at the 5 minute mark on YouTube.
Ukraine. Military Summary And Analysis 09.10.2022 - YouTube
From what he's seen, Bakhmut is not yet taken by the Wagner Group and its allied forces and they have more work to do before storming the city.
So, the video I linked to earlier today is someplace other than Bakhmut or maybe a scouting group videotaping their progress through an undefended outlying area of the city. In any case, the nearby villages have been taken and Dima estimates that within a week or two, there will be a final storming of Bakhmut by the Russian forces.
I note that today, as part of his war update, The Duran's Alexander Mercouris said there was a rumor that the Ukranian government has told residents of Bakhmut to evacuate. He didn't mention the source for the rumor, but it must be at least somewhat credible for Alexander to mention it.
And Brian Berletic's war update for today at The New Atlas mentions that reports at Reuters and Al Jazeera headline that Russian storming of Bakhmut is imminent and that Bakhmut is a key city. For months Alexander Mercouris has been talking about the importance of Bakhmut but up until now the media have ignored it. Their sudden attention to Bakhmut indicates the decisive battle for the city is imminent. Brian shows the two reports so you can copy the headlines and look up the reports if you don't mind reading propaganda along with actual news.
And although he's discussed it before, Brian's summary today of the insurmountable ammunition and weapons shortage, which spills into the United States and European Union, is important.
