Perfectly nothing on a scale you expect.
Because Russia is NOT a terrorist state.
And that is the point where other countries spot the difference.

These vehicle troop doors and situated on the roof if I remember not easy sticking a stretcher onto a roof and down into the vehicle
As far as strategic importance, Bakhmut holds little value, and that's why wagner is devoted to this secondary objective
In order to do what you want, you need to force a military victory over Ukraine and in order to do that land must be taken, so yes Again Bakhmut is important
From technical perspective, they seems to be part of Ukro Army. So they have invaded Russian soil. So IT is not a terrorist attack.
The fact that I agree with you is irrelevant to this.
For some they are terrorists - for others they are heroic freedom fighters.
Ukrs are really stupid enough to document own crimes, air it, and pretend that nothing happened.
Then this type of terror attacks against civilians on Russian soil , would have been repeated many times .

After killing Akhmad kadirov Chechenia has not been anymore a safe place for them (as many that before agreed with them started instead to reconcile with the central russian government) . It is true that they have been more or less active still for a few years but now Chechenia is a safe place and there is no danger of chechen terrorism in Russia.
There could be still people unsatisfied with the current status, but not to the points of being dangerous militants or terrorists. Those are either dead or in France (or Belgium).
Of course it has not been easy and both russian federal police and the new Chechen authorities have been busy in removing the threat.
The same thing can be done in Novorossia, Malorossia and Krasnaya Rus (Red Ruthenia or Rus chervona).
Of course it takes time and it is not easy, and this is probably one of the reasons for which Russia is not in hurry of defeating the 404 regime ( as now can can deal with them in the open).

if the Baltic statelets really do this, they have signed their end.Mir wrote:Putin made a good deal with the Chechens and it paid off. It might end the same way for the Nazis, but I have some doubts. I would not be in the least surprised if the Baltic States (or at least one of them) would allow radical elements to use their territory as a springboard for terror activities against Russia in the near future.

Yes, plenty of "famous" ones left too.
Magyar and his unit and others.
Only rear guard low-quality troops are left, hence why it's folding so fast.
I don't like that it's so porous, if Ukrainians are allowed to leave like that - there will be another Bakhmut and another.

If they were to stay in Bakhmut then the result will be another Mariupol, where Russian troops would have to fight for every building, and this sort of thing always incurs the highest casualties.

I am talking about killing the retreating troops, especially the quality ones. Run another Ilovaisk after another.
And depletion? It affects Russia too. More and more of this will lead to mutual exhaustion and then long operational pauses to reconstitute the forces. Best depletion is destruction.
There is still hope that Ukrainians even in staging areas will start to rout and this would result in an onslaught, mostly by VKS. Ukraine still has many artillery, howitzers and FOBs. I highly doubt that they will pull back in good order and be covered by AA.
Anyways, we will see soon and I am glad Ukrainians are openly documenting their every move.
