Patrick Bishop 和 Saul David：西方官员的简报显示，乌克兰在巴赫穆特坚持战斗的主要原因是为了消灭大量俄军，而非巴赫穆特的战略意义。简报中提到，战争中俄乌双方人员伤亡估计分别为20万和10万，其中巴赫穆特战役俄军伤亡2-3万。乌克兰可能在5月初发动反攻，甚至可能在巴赫穆特反攻。俄罗斯的防御工事绵延1600公里，并不具备强大的预备队，处境并不乐观。一段乌克兰公布的视频显示了俄军士兵的残暴行径，反映了俄军的军事堕落。乌克兰士兵的顽强抵抗和爱国主义精神与俄军的低迷士气形成鲜明对比，表明俄军处于困境。 Saul David：西方情报评估认为，乌克兰在巴赫穆特能够持续杀伤大量俄军，并且该城市短期内不太可能落入俄军手中。西方官员对俄军在巴赫穆特的军事目标感到困惑，认为即使俄军占领巴赫穆特，也不会导致乌克兰防线崩溃。乌克兰坚持在巴赫穆特作战，可能出于象征意义和杀伤俄军的目的。西方官员认为巴赫穆特战役即将结束，不会是更大规模进攻的序幕。俄军在巴赫穆特弹药和训练有素的士兵短缺，被迫使用老旧装备。
