Changes

The cities of Bakhmut and [[Soledar]] sit atop gypsum salt mines, with an extensive network of underground mineshafts and caverns large enough to drive vehicles into.  For this reason, Bakhmut and Soledar were made the operational hub and command center for the network and trenches and fortifications along the 800-kilometer plus frontline of contact over the past 9 years since 2014 when the Donbas war began. If one city or the other falls, the entire Donbas front will collapse.

The small town of Bakhmut (pop. 70,000) was fortified by the [[Zelensky regime]] at [[NATO]]'s direction.  NATO tactics were developed for insurgent warfare in the [[Middle East]] and [[Afghanistan]], but proved catastrophic in large-scale industrial warfare.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/M0tc1muwWv46/</ref>  NATO/Ukraine kept feeding more and more forces into the open cauldron of the Bakhmut meat grinder.<ref>https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/8001070.html</ref>  And not just the Ukrainian [[Territorial Defense]], who were ill-trained and ill-equipped for combat, but also NATO military contractors.
