I am well aware, thank you. Now onto the noose; Russia is attempting to surround the Ukrainian forces and disrupt their logistics network and cut off their supplies. Things are tense in Bakhmut, but this is not the same situation like it was at Azovstal.

Russia has been taking severe losses and losing momentum as new recruits join. This is likely to become a stalemate and will eventually even out on the fonts when Ukrainian forces will be propped up with the new addition of tanks.

It’s hardly a noose.
