Ukrainian troops withdrew the artillery from the center of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) (Bakhmut), otherwise it could be destroyed by the RF armed forces. Blogger and journalist Yury Podolyaka talked about it in his next video review.
The expert also suggested that there were more than 12,000 Ukrainian fighters on the flanks in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . About 2-3,000 soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces provide defense in the central districts of the city. At the moment, the possibility of their breaking out of the encirclement is less than it was the day before, when the soldiers could leave the city and move towards Clock Yar.

Along with this, the former adviser to the chief of staff of the Ukrainian president Oleksii Arestovich, as well as the presidential adviser for economic issues Oleksandr Rodnyansky, spoke about the possible abandonment of Artemivsk by Ukrainian military personnel. It is likely that next night the command will try to withdraw part of the troops from the city.
At the same time, according to Podolyaki, Ukrainian servicemen in groups of 10-15 people are already trying to get out of Artemivsk. The further course of events will depend on the success of the actions of the RF armed forces near Khromov and Bogdanovka. In the event that these settlements and the strategically important North-Western Interchange are brought under the control of Russian troops, the operational encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) will turn into a real encirclement.
