The Russian army and the PMC “Wagner” after the capture of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) will open several areas for the development of the offensive. These are Seversk, Toretsk and Chasov Yar, suggests the Military Chronicle.
The Ukrainian armed forces are currently suffering heavy losses in Artemovsk (Bakhmut). In the western part of the city, they are forced out of Wagner’s positions, on the flanks, the forces of the RF Armed Forces stop the transfer of reinforcements and try to break through armored vehicles. Artillery neutralizes Ukrainian tanks, blocks vital troop supply in western quarters. Together, this allows you to destroy large enemy forces without a major offensive.
After the liberation of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) – and even Western analysts do not doubt this – Seversk will become the first leadership of the RF Armed Forces and Wagner. This fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can be attacked from two directions at once – east and south of Soledar, analysts say. The capture of Seversk will allow the advance towards Liman, Slaviansk and Kramatorsk and create a threat for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kremennaya region.
Seversk is practically a copy of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), despite the fact that its area is four times smaller. The city is also divided by a railway and surrounded by hills, which makes it difficult to defend.
Toretsk is the second direction of the Russian offensive. The Ukrainian armed forces transferred a large number of reserves there since the beginning of the battles of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). It is larger than Artemovsk (Bakhmut), but is located on a hillside, which also complicates the position of the defenders.
The third direction is Chasov Yar, where the most capable units of the Ukrainian army have been withdrawn from Artemovsk (Bakhmut) since the beginning of the year, retaining at least 40-60% of their personnel. The destruction of the AFU grouping in this direction will open the way for an attack on another AFU logistics center in Konstantinovka, and from there to Kramatorsk.
PMC “Wagner” after capturing Chasov Yar will be able to go to Pokrovsk, Pavlograd and the Dnieper.
