Army Times on February 17th:

Ukrainian troops wrapped up the first rotation of battalion combined-arms training at U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria’s Grafenwoehr training area in Germany this week, the Pentagon announced Friday.

Training focused on the M2 Bradley fighting vehicle, a Pentagon spokesman said in a statement.

“Approximately 635 Ukrainians completed the approximately five-week period of instruction, which included basic soldier tasks like marksmanship, along with medical training, squad, platoon and company training, and a battalion force-on-force exercise,” said Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, a Pentagon spokesperson.

So, the next battalion should be finishing up. But this is really not all that many men -- we need to do more.

"Enemy forces had a degree of success in their actions aimed at storming the city of Bakhmut," the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said in its regular nighttime report. "Our defenders are holding the city and are repelling numerous enemy attacks."


So, Russia is still advancing inside the city.

The average number of daily Russian attacks on the front line reported by Ukraine's general staff has declined for four straight weeks since the start of March, to 69 in the past seven days from 124 in the week of March 1-7. Just 57 attacks were reported on Wednesday.


The overall offensive, though, is petering out.



EDIT: from the pro-Russian account @LogKa11:

There are unconfirmed reports of Wagner forcez assaulting the district administration building and the city council of Bakhmut building. Ukrainian armed forces are now fighting from Bakhmutskaya and Blagoveshchenskaya streets
