A day after the resumption of the supply of ammunition, the PMC Wagner took another settlement near Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . The leader of the “Musicians” Yevgeny Prigozhin announced the transfer of Berkhovka to the northwest of the city under Russian control.
Berkhovka is completely under our control. PMC units “Wagner” fully control the settlement
– Yevgeny Prigozhin reported from the scene.
The liberation of the village cut off the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) along most of the roads leading to the city. Assault detachments advance with active artillery support. As the Defense Ministry reported yesterday, gunners launched massive strikes against enemy concentrations in Yagodnoye, Orekhovo-Vasylivka and Artyomovsk itself.
Today, units of the Russian army are actively fighting near Yagodnoye, northwest of Berkhovka, and have begun to block the T-0504 Artemovsk (Bakhmut) -Konstantinovka highway. The enemy actively resists the advance of the RF armed forces and Wagner PMC. The counter-battery duels don’t stop on the second day. Militants fire from positions in Bogdanovka and Orekhovo-Vasylivka.
The Ukrainian armed forces continue to send new reinforcements to Artemovsk (Bakhmut) , trying to curb the offensive of Russian units.
