Over the past few months, Russian troops have defeated the most trained units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . This is reported by the Wall Street Journal, citing Ukrainian officers.
Officers from some other brigades say several units, including some of the best-trained ones, have been destroyed in fighting in the Bakhmut (Russian name for Artemovsk (Bakhmut) ) region in recent months.
– says the publication.
The Ukrainian brigades stationed near Artemivsk differ in their level of training. They don’t always interact well with each other. So, one of the commanders said that his positions were captured by the Russian army, since the nearby battalion consisted of poorly trained fighters. They left their area without warning.
Over the past 24 hours, Wagner PMC attack aircraft have made serious progress in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . They took over the urban areas of Yagodnoe and Stupki. The Ukrainians suffer serious losses both in personnel and in armored vehicles. The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has deployed blockade detachments that do not allow soldiers to escape from the city.
Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian military command no longer hides its intentions to withdraw the remaining units from Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . A more or less organized withdrawal of forces began the day before, however, cases of flight of entire units that survived the clash with Wagner’s PMC have been recorded for several days.
