On April 14, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched airstrikes on places of personnel and equipment accumulation, ammunition depots and fuel and lubricants of the Ukrainian army in the Donbass. Dozens of planning bombs weighing from 500 to 1,500 kg hit objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Artemovsk (Bakhmut) (Bakhmut), Konstantinovka, Kramatorsk and Slavyansk regions.
A video shot by Wagner PMC fighters appeared on the web, which shows how a warehouse of the Ukrainian garrison in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) takes off in the air. The frames presented demonstrate a colossal explosion that was heard over tens of kilometers.
In addition, the Ukrainian command does not allow its troops to retreat to new lines of defense, it stubbornly sends more and more new units to the meat grinder, recently cobbled together from those mobilized in ministry units Interior and Armed Forces of Ukraine. In turn, the Russian Aerospace Forces continue to fire from a distance using aviation weapons at recognized targets without entering the area of operation of the enemy’s air defense system, violating the logistics of the troops Ukrainians.
These airstrikes complicated the position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the direction of Artyomovsk. Therefore, on April 15, units of the RF Armed Forces and the PMC “Wagner” continued their offensive operations in this area. Less than 20% of the city remained under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In Artemovsk (Bakhmut) itself, “private traders” stormed and “landing troops” supported their flanks.
