Operation Bakhmut has lasted for a long time, both Russia and Ukraine have also suffered great losses in this new “meat mill”, after losing Soledar to the Russian army, it can be said that the Ukrainian army in Bakhmut could not restore the situation.Recently Russian army issued an ultimatum to the Ukrainian armed forces defending in Bakhmut, if within the allotted time they choose to surrender, there is still a chance to survive, otherwise they will be completely annihilated.At Soledar, before the Russian side made the request, some Ukrainian soldiers chose to surrender, but still about 400 Ukrainian troops were determined to die; but no matter what choice the Ukrainian army made, the Russians eventually overran this strategic town.Currently, the Russian military has control of the largest salt mine in Europe and most of the strategic town of Soledar was held by the Russian army; The main road from Soledar to Bakhmut was also under Russian control. Under such circumstances, 20,000 Ukrainian soldiers remained trapped in Bakhmut. Due to the high terrain in Bakhmut on four sides and low in the middle, the Ukrainian army was unable to fight back when Russian artillery controlled the high terrain. The battles in Bakhmut were very tragic, even Ukrainian military experts said that this was the fiercest and most brutal battle since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. World historians also liken the Battle of Bakhmut to the Battle of Verdun in World War I.Bakhmut city is not large, can normally accommodate 20,000 combatants; but the Russian army gathered here 70,000 troops, and the Ukrainian side 27 brigades also gathered here. The battlefield is too many troops, this is also one of the causes of great casualties for both sides.But both Russia and Ukraine are “unwavering”; the commander of Russia’s Wagner paramilitary force (known in the West as mercenaries) also frankly admitted that Ukrainian soldiers showed bravery in combat; Although the two sides have opposing positions, it is still worthy of praise. Meanwhile, the actions of the mercenaries of Western countries (Ukraine calls them international volunteers) are shameful. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, President Zelensky immediately mobilized international volunteers to fight in Ukraine; Western countries that support Ukraine, also took this opportunity to send mercenaries into the Ukrainian battlefield. During the extremely difficult defense of Bakhmut, although this war was still going on, the number of Lithuanian mercenaries, morale completely collapsed. Due to the stress, they escaped from the battlefield.According to the information, 24 Ukrainian soldiers performed the same mission with the Lithuanian mercenaries, but the Lithuanian mercenaries attacked all the Ukrainian soldiers of the same unit, with their own weapons during lunch.The Ukrainian side has also conducted an investigation into this and requested the extradition of Lithuanian soldiers to Ukraine for trial. According to analysis from British media, the harsh battlefield environment has a great psychological impact on people; Since mercenaries receive money to fight, they don’t want to die in vain.It is known that the number of mercenaries on the Ukrainian battlefield has reached 10,000; When coming to Ukraine, many people think not to go to areas with fierce fighting, but to do work to help Ukrainian civilians affected by the war. But what was unexpected, was that many people were sent to the front, to fight directly with the Russian army.Foreign mercenaries of Ukraine revealed on social networks that the Ukrainian army often sent mercenaries to the Bakhmut front without giving clear notice; They will be attacked or captured by Ukrainian field surveillance forces, if they try to escape.It can be seen that the Ukrainian battlefield is still very tense, after a long time on duty, the psychological problems of the soldiers are very stressful, which can lead to the killing of teammates and suicide. According to the current situation, the protracted war will continue, and the psychological problems of the participants also need to be resolved, otherwise the situation will become more complicated.
