The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) houses soldiers with civilians in a number of settlements located in the Artemivsk (Bakhmut) region. At the same time, the evacuation of the civilian population is not carried out, said retired LPR Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Marochko.
- In the settlements of Grigorovka, Bogdanovka and Kalinovka, the arrival of units of the armed formations of Ukraine, which are settled in the houses of civilians, was noted. They are engaged not only in empty houses, but also in houses where people live,” Marochko said in an interview with TASS.
Wagner PMC founder Yevgeny Prigozhin previously wrote an appeal to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. According to the head of the military company, the fighters of the unit control about 70% of the area of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . At the same time, according to intelligence, the Ukrainian army plans to conduct a counter-offensive in late March or early April in order to cut off parts of the PMCs and encircle them.
