Thanks for update. What would you consider a major setback for Ukraine? If they lose the whole city, including their "high ground", is that a major loss?

Ukraine pulls out of all but 'insignificant' sliver of Bakhmut, pivots to encircling Russian forces

http://www.yahoo.com/news/ukraine-pulls-insignificant-sliver-bakhmut-093145357.html

Russia's Wagner Group paramilitary forces captured all but an "insignificant" corner of Bakhmut from Ukrainian defenders, Ukrainian Gen. Oleksandr Syrsky said Sunday, a day after Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin declared victory in the decimated town. But Ukrainian forces continued their advances on the northern and southern flanks of Bakhmut and are "close to tactically encircling the city," Syrsky added. Ukraine's control of the high ground around Bakhmut will allow it to defend vital supply lines, shell Russian forces inside the ruins of the city, and prevent further advances westward, analysts said.

And while Russia 'might' have captured Bakhmut . . . What is going to happen to them if Ukraine does succeed in encircling the city . . .
