Sky News military analyst Professor Michael Clarke joins Tom Cheshire as they look at what appears to be the last hours of Kyiv's hold on the eastern town of Bakhmut, which has been fought over for months.

Mariupol, Severodonetsk, and Bakhmut.
All extreme intense battle.

All roads out of backhmut is under fire control so it won't be easy backhmut is under tactical encirclement and soon come operational encirclement

If anyone seriously thinks Ukraine can win against the might of Russia - needs to slap themselves.

I wish he showed the last bit of Prigozin's video. The old man and the two young boys fighting in the Ukrainian army.

[MasterWatchmaker]

That pain on general's face is unbearable

[realiststoic]

Tragic situation, let's hope the US and UK don't block peace talks again.

[ISRAEL-CONTROL-AMERICA]

The pain goes straight to Washington DC, , New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid and Warsaw.

Clarky looks so uncomfortable 😂 the embarrassment showing after all he has said for months. after hiding for about a week and not saying a word, had to crawl back to the studios and face the reality 🤣 same man who said months ago very unlikely Russia would be able to take bakhmut …. It’s too important for ukraine. Now it’s nah all is well, not a important place anyway, we will just make a tactical retreat. Absolute joke

[JK-ujur]

We need to make something clear. They are not actually encircled. If they were they would have no way out and could not withdraw. They are in a situation where they are close to being encircled and are therefore conducting an organised withdrawal to avoid getting encircled.That is a huge difference.

[jayakumarkaarikuzhy]

I understand the Professor's sadness when he describes the withdrawal of the Ukrainian forces.

[conorb]

I appreciate Tom's inputs for geolocating to back up the claims as they happen. It's seldom that news reports show their sources beyond the statements that are made.

[FredsRandomFinds]

Thought Clarke kept telling us Russia was losing?

[jeidyfrancisco]

I thought Ukraine said they were in charge of Bakhmut 🤦🏼‍♂️

[jackson]

For Collective Western media is a shame, why Sky news hasn't showed the full video will one teenage boy and one old man and a young man?

[salvatoreregalbuto]

They held out for 9 1/2 months that’s incredible! Baghdad fell in 5 weeks.

[tatianacole]

It had been confirm by a Ukrainian fighter and his team on judge napolitano YouTube page…saying Bakhmut has essentially fallen

[hylimm]

Is it so difficult to say the Ukrainians are losing? 😂

[carsten]

Trust Professor Clarke to explain the difficult details very simply !
