Any updates on Bakhmut? Just saw the Wagner leader say they're running out of ammunition. If that's true, and if it's also true that Ukraine will be hitting a counter offensive soon, this could be very interesting.

Wagner Boss 'Cut Off' From Official Channels After Public Ammo Plea
The head of Russia’s notorious Wagner mercenary group Yevgeniy Prigozhin said on Thursday that he’d been cut off from all government communication channels following his recent public plea to the Ministry of Defense to supply his fighters in Ukraine with urgently needed ammunition.“In order to stop me from asking for ammunition, they turned off all special [government] phone lines in all of the offices and [Wagner] units … and blocked all [my] passes to the agencies responsible for making decisions,” Prigozhin said in a message posted on his Telegram channel.
Prigozhin made headlines last month when he accused Russia's top brass of committing "treason" by intentionally depriving his fighters in eastern Ukraine of ammunition supplies.
He subsequently called on ordinary Russians to help him put pressure on the country's regular army to share their supplies of ammunition with Wagner mercenaries.
Though Prigozhin subsequently announced that ammunition shipments to Wagner had resumed, in his Thursday message he revealed that the ammunition shortage “situation” hadn’t, in fact, seen much improvement.
“Now I can only ask [for more supplies] through the media and … most likely will be doing just that,” Prigozhin said.
A close ally of President Vladimir Putin, Prigozhin has been engaged in a public stand-off with Russian military officials for months now, accusing them of taking credit for victories won by Wagner fighters and of slowing down the advance of Wagner units in Ukraine with red tape.

Uh oh
Russian civil war. 
Bakhmut has not yet fallen and Ukraine is supposed to have sent reinforcements. It feels like Ukraine wants to make it their Verdun or Stalingrad as a symbolic hold that changed momentum in their favor.
At the moment, Russia appears to focus on the suburbs to complete the encirclement and is pausing attacks to Bakhlut itself as Russian reinforcements are supposed to come to bridge the Bakhmuta river.

Smh, we can’t. This is just them being diplomatic and giving us cover to make it look like a joint decision. This looks like they’re asking but it’s actually “hey we have the technology and now that Iran has or is on the verge of declaring itself a nuclear power, there’s no reason for us to hide it…yes yes I know this complicates things, yes yes I know you guys have always had our backs…and it’s bc we value this friendship that we’re willing to make it look like it we asked for your blessing.”
Russian Mil Telegram saying that official Russian policy now is to send any Javelins, MANPADS or other sensivitive tech captured from Ukrainians to Iran and North Korea to be reverse engineered lol theyre desperate and playing dirty
