It keeps the idiot Russian army and Wagner busy. They are getting worn down.

a reverse Verdun if you would, a position that while important was meant to be a bleeding ulcer to the invader.

>ts Ukraines by far strongest fortification on the frontlines atm.

If you look at the topographic map you'll see that Bahkmut is in the low ground, theres defensive positions behind Bahkmut that at 100m+ higher. If Russia finally manages to take Bahkmut they'll get shot to shit from those positions anyway and then it's an uphill battle trying to push out of the town.

Ukraine is famous for its incredibly fertile, dark black soil, named chornozem (чорнозем - literally “black ground”), which is why Ukraine is one of the agricultural juggernauts of the world.

However, when the frozen ground thaws and the snow of winter melts in the spring, that fertile чорнозем turns into horrific mud that is the nightmare of any heavy vehicle driver. Trying to push an offensive in Spring, especially in Ukraine, is bound to result in hundreds of armored vehicles getting stuck in the mud.

This same mud bogged down the Nazis during their invasion of the USSR. The Ukrainians call the muddy season bezdorizhzhia or "roadlessness".

There's nothing like turning into your former enemy quite like putting yourself in a muddy quagmire.

You can't tell me there aren't some Russian officers that deliberately drive this shit into literal mud.

Good thing Bakhmut is on a hills so any assault will just slip back down.
