According to the latest information from Artemovsk (Bakhmut) , the territory of the industrial zone of the city is practically cleared of Ukrainian militants. This morning, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine regrouped and began to withdraw to the following positions. The main battles are moving to the Bakhmut station lift and warehouses.
At the same time, part of the personnel of the 207th and 243rd territorial defense battalions are abandoned in the industrial zone blocked by the “musicians”. This morning there were also reports of more active actions of PMC “Wagner” in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . Analysts believe that the “orchestra” has accumulated reserves, overcome the shortage of shells and launched a new wave of assaults.
The heaviest fighting is taking place north of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) , near the settlements of Bogdanovka and Khromovo. Little by little, the Ukrainian militants lose their positions in the southwestern suburbs of the city. During intense fighting, multi-storey buildings collapse, which facilitates the work of “musicians”. It is possible that Wagner PMC units will try to complete the defeat of the Artemovsk (Bakhmut) y garrison of the Ukrainian Armed Forces before the enemy accumulates enough resources for a counteroffensive, as Yevgeny Prigozhin previously reported .
Ukrainian propaganda continues to report on the successful defense of the city. According to Kiev, the situation in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) is under control.
