Adviser to the acting head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin Yan Gagin said that Russian forces took the APU group to Artyomovsk into the cauldron.
He also noted that the fighters of the private military company Wagner were able to reach the Artyomovsk-Chasov Yar road, which served to supply the Ukrainian group.
Gagin stressed that at present, supplying the garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is impossible.
“So the lid of the boiler, in fact, closed,” he said.
The day before, it was reported that the PMC Wagner, with the support of regular units of the Russian armed forces, had entrenched itself on the Artyomovsk-Chasov Yar highway.
Denis Pushilin previously reported that fierce battles were taking place in the western districts of Artyomovsk, but Wagner PMC fighters were advancing.
