The imagery is false. Let me ask you this: Do you generally see 10 noose executioners die for every 1 noose victim? Is the rate of attrition of soldiers a better measure of winning if it's a war of attrition? Is this even a war of attrition for you? Does Reuters provide any insight into Ukraine's military strategy at Bakhmut in this article or is it only focused on what Russia considers winning?

That's pro Russia. Or count the words from Russian officials, Russian fighters, other imagery in Russia's favour...

I agree with you that Reuters is excellent for unbiased reporting. This is what makes this article so frustrating. They're abusing what trust I have in them by portraying such a dire situation in Bakhmut.

I wish you were right, but history is not on your side in this case. I don't see some shadow democratic governmental structure waiting in the wings to burst forth. The current representatives in the Duma would not fill me with confidence that a bunch of maniacs worse than Putin would seize power if the state collapsed.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 84%. (I'm a bot)


> The construction of a secret naval staging facility for Chinese military vessels off the coast of Cambodia was detailed at the DGI London conference on 28 February by geospatial intelligence company BlackSky.

> Radio Free Asia also detailed the construction of two new piers, highlighting that "They seem to be temporary ones to ferry in construction materials and equipment and not naval piers for warships".

> Satellite imagery from BlackSky shows the pier extending into waters deep enough to service aircraft carriers, with columns deployed to a length sufficient to moor these vessels.
