'Taking control over Bakhmut is a desperate attempt to send the message that Russia can still win in Ukraine,' an expert told Newsweek.
Roozenbeek said that the town itself, which had a pre-war population of 70,000, doesn't hold a lot of strategic value, but the location does.
"But rather, if you're able to sort of secure position and do artillery strikes, at the very least the front will be versatile. Because the Ukrainian army will be occupied with defending these territories for the most part." "All other cities and towns in Donetsk region are too far from the Russian lines and the capture of Bakhmut will signify at least some progress for Russians in Donetsk region," he said.Jaroslava Barbieri, doctoral researcher at the University of Birmingham, said that at this stage in the war, the town has more symbol rather than strategic military importance.
