I don't think so. Bakhmut was selected by Prigozhin as a showcase for Wagner Group.I believe and I may be wrong, Crimea is being used as a strategy to get Putin in a serious way to the negotiation table. Losing Crimea would be a serious loss and a total embarrassment. Walking away and keeping Crimea and the West recognizing Crimea as part of Russia may be a win and an off-ramp out of his stupid decision to illegally invade a peaceful sovereign country. On the opposite end, Putin is fighting hard for a town called Bakmut because he wants a win so badly. Perhaps he sees Bakmut as his offramp.
Without the west/NATO supplying defensive weapons, Eukraine would be done so for your folks to keep harping on not supplying any aid, which is ridiculous.
The Poo will keep on with the war until Russia domestically destabilizes. Otherwise, why would The Poo give a shit?
He lives in a fortress mansion on a peninsula on the Black Sea. He has all the pussy he wants. And he kills anyone who fucks with him in Russia.
