**The info is coming in from social media accounts, BUT, it’s possible. Very possible**

> Sounds like Bakhmut is closed for safe entry and exit now. Rout at your own risk.

 **Dima @ Military Summary had discussed this as a real possibility as well**

**Additionally I’d suspected Bakhmut may be close to encirclement or whatever military term may apply based on what Zelensky had stated the other day.**

**I certainly read that as an acknowledgment that the loss of Bakhmut was close and it should be understood that this meant bigger Ukrainian cities would become the next target.**

**This was the first time I’d read Zelensky making statements like this. Everything had been denial as well as patriotic lip flapping**

> ***“As for Bakhmut, there is no order for the armed forces to hold the position to the death. There is no such order at all***“

**Was Zelensky trying to absolve himself of responsibility for the dead Ukrainians?**
