I generally don’t pick apart someone when they’re mostly correct lol
Yes, the Ukrainians didn’t say “not one step backwards, Stalingrad Bahkmut must hold” but let’s be real. They should have retreated to Chasiv Yar and other better defensive positions a lot sooner.
Maybe you are right, there was a lot of debate about it already at the time. They knew they would lose it, so I considered it an exploit of a good defensive position for as long as possible.
Maybe they stayed a bit too long, but to be fair, we don’t see all the things they have to take into consideration. Maybe you are right that they could have done better. But they definitely also could have done a lot worse.
Seems you somehow skipped the 2nd part:
