The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) war analysis institute Thursday in its meaning he wrote about it after the capture of Eastern Bahmut on March 7
the Wagner group is probably taking a break in operations, because since then there have been no reports of offensive operations targeting the center of the city west of the Bahmutka River.
According to the ISW, Wagner’s forces are currently not sufficiently prepared to cross the Bahmutka River. Serhii Cservatij, a spokesman for Ukraine’s eastern forces, said on Thursday that increasing numbers of Russian airborne and mechanized units were arriving to reinforce Bahmut. This could mean that they want to restart the stalled offensive of the Wagner group with Russian regular forces.
