The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will soon surrender Artemovsk (Bakhmut) (Bakhmut). The fighting is already taking place almost in the center of the city, said Yan Gagin, adviser to acting DPR leader Denis Pushilin.
– The initiative of combat is now in the hands of our fighters. Now they are already fighting in the city, practically in the center. Artemovsk (Bakhmut) ‘s surrender is, I think, a matter of time, it will come soon enough,” he told Rossiya-1 television on Wednesday.
Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy ‘s statement that the army will not defend Artemivsk at any cost came under pressure from Western partners, as the president used to say something completely different, the military expert Vasily Dandykin.

The military correspondents of the “Russian Spring” had previously published a new summary of the course of hostilities in the direction of Bakhmut
