Pressure on Kremima appears to be increasing. Maybe movement to the north will undermine the whole Wagner effort at Bakhmut.



I don't think so because Putin is determined to get a W. However if Ukraine swaps Bakhmut for Kreminna then Ukraine gets the upper edge. Ukraine has an even more defensible position < 5 km west of Bakhmut to stop any Russian advance to the west. If Keminna falls then Russia will have to fall back to Severodonetsk which puts the supply lines to the Bakhmut axis in artillery range. Which is why it is mind boggling that Putin is going all in on Bakhmut.
