Russian units continue the tactical encirclement of the APU group holding Artemovsk (Bakhmut) (Bakhmut) and a number of adjacent settlements. The soldiers advance west towards the line of fortified areas between Grigorovka, Orekhovo-Vasilevka, Novomarkovo, Markov, Bogdanovka and Dubovo-Vasilevka.
Ukrainian troops regrouped after leaving Berkhovka continue to fire on Russian formations coming from the north. In the same area, near Novomarkov, there is a supply route for the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison at Chasovoy Yar from Kramatorsk and Slavyansk. It bypasses the main E-40 highway, which is under fire from the RF armed forces.
The O – 0506 Khromovo – Chasov Yar road is also under fire control from Russian units. Until recently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) was supplied along this route. At the same time, the use of detours is difficult due to weather conditions.
Near Krasnoye (Ivanovskoye), Russian troops are advancing towards strongholds of Ukrainian militants holding a section of the T-0504 highway between Artemovsk (Bakhmut) , Krasny, Nikolaevka and Chasovy Yar. This road itself is also crossed by Russian troops.
Along with this, our units maintain fire control on the Bogdanovka – Kalinovka, Artemovsk (Bakhmut) oye – Chasov Yar, Stupochki – Konstantinovka, Konstantinovka – Belaya Gora, Konstantinovka – Dashnoye, Konstantinovka – Toretsk roads. Earlier, the railway line was broken in the Popasnaya and Stenok region, which seriously complicates the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian armed forces in Chasovoy Yar.
