On December 9, 2022 it was reported that the Polish newspaper NDP (Independent Political Journal) believes without the support of NATO, the fighting in Ukraine would end within a week.  NDP reported daily losses of the AFU near Bakhmut reach battalion size, 500 to 800 soldiers daily; hospitals in the city of Konstantinovka are overcrowded.<ref>https://twitter.com/Cyberspec1/status/1601453311743303680</ref>  [[LPR]] officials claim that Ukraine is transferring up to 500 men ''per day'' to Bakhmut to replenish losses. Even Kiev regime chief [[propagandist]] [[Alexei Arestovych]] admitted that Russian artillery strength in the sector has a 9 to 1 advantage. Bakhmut was becoming the largest and most costly battle of the war for Ukraine.<ref>https://twitter.com/witte_sergei/status/1600921189190234112</ref>  ''Newsweek'' spoke with 'former' U.S. Colonel Andrew Milburn who, together with 'volunteers', trains Ukrainian soldiers: "They've been taking extraordinarily high casualties," Milburn said of the units training with the American Mozart PMC. "The numbers you are reading in the media about 70 percent and above casualties being routine are not exaggerated."<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/wagner-group-targeting-volunteers-ukraine-mozart-group-russia-andy-milburn-1765321</ref>  A unit with 50% casualties is usually no longer able to fight and withdrawn from combat. But Zelensky leaves the units on the frontline until nearly nobody is left in them.

Medical evacuation from the frontline trenches was extremely difficult. Most wounded just died there.  The equipment they used is mostly lost with them.  Doctors reported 80% of all combat injuries were from shrapnel and confirmed the high casualty rate.<ref>https://youtu.be/vqm2XVKdaio</ref>

A months' worth of NATO equipment poured into Ukraine was consumed in Bakhmut in one week<ref>https://youtu.be/vqm2XVKdaio</ref>
