Battlefield Update - 2023-03-14 (2)
There are no relatively safe exits from Bakhmut, which may be "a sign that encirclement or evacuation of (the Ukrainian garrison in) the besieged city may be near, if not imminent," according to a recent Daily Mail report.
The article says that a "safer" detour around the Bakhmut ledge is no longer possible by car. It has been mined by the military with anti-tank mines.
"If we are going to move forward, we will have to turn around and then choose the only remaining open "road" to Bakhmut—a more direct route, which has the disadvantage of being 700 meters away from Russian positions and under direct observation by Russian artillery," the report says.
The journalist writes that "our journey begins in Konstantinovka," and on the way to Bakhmut, the camera crew turns off at Chasov Yar.
Yesterday's Washington Post story referred to the Konstantinovka-Bakhmut highway as the "road of life" for the Bakhmut garrison. But, according to the Daily Mail report, it goes to Bakhmut via Chasov Yar, not directly.
From Chasov Yar, the road to Bakhmut leads through Khromovo, where Russian troops are trying to advance. The Ukrainian military has already said that if Khromovo is captured, Bakhmut will be virtually surrounded.
