For the curious: Iuliia Mendel is the Ukranian Press Secretary. This is the linked tweet:

Fuck Getty Images. I have no way of knowing if this was sold to them or they just scraped it online the way they have with other images.

We’re with you Ukraine! You will win this thing.

For reference Bakhmut is facing nonstop wave assaults from Russians by forcing convicts to advance or be shot if they retreat

It’s the location where there is the heaviest loses by the Russians where mercenaries are in charge of that campaign and want to show…
redpandabanana
That they can get results and tie Ukrainians into a meat grinder. However it’s more the Russians that are getting ground down
thundercactus
They're trying to hit the Ukrainian's pre-set kill limit in hopes they will shut down once it's reached /s

Massed human wave attacks are costly when meeting concentrated arty fire, the orcs are getting slaughtered.

Or just Stalingrad in WW2.
keystotheairlock
Yeah that's what I was reminded of. "Convicts" is a relative term in Russia, too. They're probably just poor laborers.

The Red Army was much better equipped and organized than these discount White Army fucks. Giving every other man a gun was a Tzarist thing.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
A bit like saying English fashion during the victorian age got steampunk vibes.
DarkRedCape
Bahkmut has no real tactical or strategic importance, so it really shows how utterly incompetent the Russian command is in trying to take it
SchmuseTigger
not really true though. Well, right now from how the front looks it is showing the utter incompetence true.
ZackWester
it had some Stratagic importance back in Mars??? when they tried to capture it in order to cut of Ukrine force to the North of the town.
ZackWester
sadly that cut of is now not going to happen. sadly no one apperetly told the grunts outside of Bahkmut that capturing the town now is moot.
stulfer
That may be propaganda, it might actually have alot of strategic value to both sides
scmack794
I believe this is where Wagner is operating, so it has nothing necessarily to do with the greater strategy. A contract thing?
GadenKerensky
The Wagnerites were a bit more competent tactically than the regular army, so they wanted Bakhmut for the clout, to demonstrate success, >
GadenKerensky
despite it being strategically costly and also strategically less vital once Izyum was retaken.
BearableBear
Laugh in Stalingrad
BearableBear
In the sense they will have another one.
Zombimancer
And how Ukraine is trying its damnest to protect its people
Fedotia
It has media value for Wagner and throwing convicts as machinegun fodder costs nothing. They cannot take a victory pose if all they did...
Fedotia
...was planting a few white concrete blocs as "defense" far from the front line.
DarkRedCape
You say “it costs nothing” with a very heartless tone. It costs lives.
Fedotia
You talk as if the war criminals cheering about the brutal execution of POWs value human life.
apophisismydad
Russia has a long and storied history of caring very little for human life.
thatbloodybastard
It costs nothing from the perspective of the people in charge, anyway.
Molvanian
Eh, maybe. On prevailing theory I've seen it's one of the few places Russia has made any gains, they want to take the city as a 'moral
runefjord2
if the Russians make gains their doctrine dictates that they support that front, so if you just make them gain a little, 1/?
runefjord2
in a place of your choosing, and inflict heavy casualities, without them gaining other places, they will pour their men there 2/2

The front there hardly moved since 2014.
Molvanian
They've gained meters. As opposed to losing kilometers.

victory'. Something to placate the people back home and show 'they can totally win this'.
Ultratoxic
Yeah that's the definition of not having a tactical or strategic advantage. Only a political one. There are other better meat grinders
TheWombatStrikesAgain
I've heard Ukrainians have a built-in kill limit, so if they just send wave after wave of Russ-... uhm... I might have mixed something up.
fake40nedeso
Stalingrad? Stalingrad.
Molvanian
Oh yeah speaking personally I hope this goes terribly for the Russians.
DarkRedCape
That just backs up my point. It’s not strategic, but they are wasting so many resources and manpower for a moral victory.
jokexplainer
Wasting so many lives.
Molvanian
Well, if it keeps the people from turning on Putin any harder, there's a point to it. To be fair I wish they'd get rid of him.
tounushi
Me too, but who'd they replace him with? I'd also like to see a total and final end to the Muscovite empire, but them nukes, though...
