regarding the attempted encircelemnt of Bakhmut ....

General Oleksandr Syrskyi said in a Telegram post that Kyiv's troops were advancing on Russian forces in the suburbs and were getting closer to a "tactical encirclement" of the city, formerly home to 70,000 people.
General Syrskyi's assertion that Ukrainian forces were continuing their advance along the flanks of the city was echoed by Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar.
Over the past week, Ukrainian forces made their most rapid gains for six months on Bakhmut's northern and southern flanks, with Russia acknowledging some setbacks for its troops.
Kyiv says its aim has been to draw Russian forces from elsewhere on the front into the city, to inflict high casualties there and weaken Moscow's defensive line elsewhere ahead of a planned major Ukrainian counteroffensive.

This is one reason why countries join NATO....so they won't be subjected to the utter devastation of Bakhmut..
