The Stormtroopers of the Russian PMC “Wagner” continue their offensive operations in the Artemovsk (Bakhmut) region. In these minutes there are reports of a violent clash in the area of the Ivanovskoye settlement, which is nine kilometers from the city.
According to field reports, Russian volunteers are trying to take control of the T-0504 highway leading to the village of Konstantinovka. This morning, Russian units completed clearing the Berkhovka settlement in the northern part of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) .
Now volunteer detachments are pressing units of the Ukrainian army in the Yagodnoye region and the northern regions of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . Meanwhile, Ukrainian Armed Forces reinforcements are approaching the western part of the city in the Bogdanovka region. However, the Russian artillery is actively working in the reserves.
Recall that today the founder of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that the problem with the supply of ammunition to his company has been solved. This means that in the near future we can expect an increase in attacks by Russian attack aircraft on the positions of the Ukrainian armed forces in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) .
We add that the position of the Ukrainian garrison in the city is already critical. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are losing at least 100 fighters here every day. At the same time, the military command of Ukraine still refuses to withdraw the surviving soldiers from Artemivsk. In Kiev, they believe that the surrender of the city will seriously affect the morale of the Ukrainian army.
