The offensive on Bakhmut has become a priority of the Russian Federation, there are six groups of Russian troops in Ukraine - a map of hostilities

Attempts on Bakhmut, where the Russian Federation involved the mercenaries of Wagner PEC is probably a priority of Russian troops in the Donbass in the current phase of war. The American Institute for War Study (ISW) in its new summary.

Its experts also identified six major groups of the Russian army and its proxy (including the forces of quasi-rosrespublics "L/DNR"), which are now fighting in Ukraine: Video Day at the same time none of these groups is homogeneous, emphasize ISW analysts: all over the front units of different military districts, proxy, "volunteer" units and other Russian formations.

From their location, ISW concludes that Moscow probably pays primary attention to the promotion of its forces in the Bakhmut area and perhaps to Siversk, seeking to use the forces of the DNR to seize the territories of Donetsk region, which could not be captured since 2014 . And the high concentration of Volunteer Battalions around Izium and Slavyansk may indicate that the area is not a priority of Russia and is likely to be vulnerable to Ukrainian counterattack.
