Moscow's anger no longer scares Westerners.. Lost, not lost? A good dose of confusion reigns since Saturday on the situation in Bakhmut.

The Ukrainians now control only an "insignificant" part of the city flattened to 90% by the bombs. They try a maneuver of encirclement to trap the "winner" in the very heart of his trophy. Whatever the outcome, we have just seen the first significant advance of the Russians since their pitiful withdrawals north of Kiev.
