A month into Ukraine’s counteroffensive, Kyiv’s forces continue to advance, especially in their effort to retake Bakhmut. Despite the turmoil behind the Russian lines, with the mutiny by the Wagner mercenary group, there have not yet been the dramatic breakthroughs some had once predicted. In part this reflects a Ukrainian focus not on taking ground but degrading capabilities, but also unexpected Russian tenacity.
