Ukraine Reels After Missile Strike, Sends Reinforcements to Bakhmut; Putin Briefed by Surovikin (Alexander Mercouris)

The West is finding itself in an impossible situation with the war. They don't want to admit Ukraine is losing while at the same time they are running out of equipment to send to Kiev. Some admissions of losses and the continued missile strikes are appearing in the Mainstream Media. It looks like Bakhmut is about to be surrounded. The Ukrainian Army, rather than withdrawing to new positions, is throwing men and equipment into this (meat grinding) trap. Do they think Western Nations will come and rescue them?
