Ammo Shortage, Mobilization Claims - Ukraine Map Analysis \ Update 09March23 (Willy OAM)

As many say Russia has started its offensive there are a few critical pieces that are under heavy fighting, Today we explore why this City in the Donetsk oblast could be critical to both Ukraine and Russia



This is a view of the conflict from the Western/Ukrainian side, which often gets things wrong about Russia. It is important to note that anything the West says about Russia is likely wrong/propaganda. Take note in the video as this clip shows the boss of Wagner PMC near the frontline in Bakhmut where you can hear continuous shelling. It does not sound like there is a shortage of ammunition on the Russian side going from this clip. He's very close to the present frontline, and if this was incoming fire you would expect to see nearby explosions, or perhaps one, and they would not be standing out in the open. The body language seems to also indicate outgoing fires. 

There's also a lot of talk that the Russians won't be able to advance much further this year, but the Russians have not even committed the majority of their mobilised troops to the battle.

Many of the pro-Western (online) pundits might be ex military but they still live in an information bubble and it does not make them automatically wise to what is going on. They appear to be operating on railway tracks, in terms of thinking, where they seem to exclude the fact that the Western side is engaged in a huge propaganda operation when it comes to this conflict. They don't seem to think that 'honest voices from the frontlines' could be lying - just as the White Helmets did in Syria.

This clip does have good map analysis. The thing that is missing, when Willy talks about heavy fighting, is the fact that it is heavy for the defenders who are being constantly pounded by incoming shells.
