Artemivsk is gradually turning from the “Bakhmut Fortress” into a cemetery of the Ukrainian army. The fighting moved to the western outskirts of the city, where, with artillery support, the assault detachments of the Wagner PMC continued to push the enemy back. Today, “musicians” are actively working on enemy positions with the help of MLRS and identifying artillery strikes.
The displayed frames show how the artillery works on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The video was filmed by luckier Ukrainian servicemen who are still on the second line of defence. However, guarding Artemovsk (Bakhmut) is becoming increasingly difficult. The center of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) is under fire from both sides. The enemy tries to hide in basements and residential areas.
All major industrial facilities and administrative buildings have already come under the control of the “musicians”. The Armed Forces of Ukraine were evicted from the buildings of the district administration, the city council, the prosecutor’s office and the court. The Wagner PMC fighters took control of the Bakhmut-1 station and the trolleybus depot.
Visiting the Polish President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy today authorized the Ukrainian army to leave Artemivsk. He said that if there was a serious threat of loss of personnel due to encirclement, the right decision would be made. Obviously, several tens of thousands of health and irremediable losses for the Ukrainian president are so far of no importance.
