The journalist notes that he was not informed of the data on the losses of Bakhmut's Ukrainian defenders, they only said that they were "smaller", but at the same time "other sources say about five Russians for one Ukrainian and even more".
The Guardian's source believes that the battle for Bakhmut "may well last another month", but "the Ukrainians may decide to leave within a week."
