The defense of the Russians is weakening. The Armed Forces of Ukraine disrupted the logistics of the enemy and hampered the rapid movement of his troops at the front, - The Times.

There are now three likely scenarios:

▪️go east from Bakhmut and turn south towards Donetsk;
▪️move south from Ugledar to Mariupol;
▪️ go to Tokmak and Melitopol, isolate the Crimea and all the troops of the Russian Federation.

The latter option will allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to reach Crimea with artillery and air attacks. And this will make the peninsula impossible for the presence of Russian military and civilians. This is a major advantage.
