#1 "monument to tankmen" is a quarter mile east of the Bakhmutka river on the main road (H32) through town. Ukrainian forces withdrew to the west of the Bakhmutka river.

#2 How is this possible, how can it be?

NYT reported Zelensky stating, "Ukrainian troops will not withdraw from bakhmut (artemovsk)."

And I thought the russians ran out of ammo. So are Ukrainians so poorly trained, that Wagner was able to take the monument with mud pies and shovels? Holy cow. Similarly, i thought wagner ran out of prison recruits too. Hmmm. *thinks profoundly*

#3 Not exactly the US Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi but it's a good bet Ukrainians would prefer it didn't happen.
