The collapse of the front will follow the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Artemovsk (Bakhmut). The corresponding statement was made by Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of the country Alexei Danilov.
He stressed that Artemovsk (Bakhmut) is an important strategic point.
“And more than once, the focus was on that when they said surrender, get away. If we do that, we can reach our western borders very quickly,” Danilov explained.
Entrepreneur and founder of the private military company (PMC) “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will launch a counter-offensive after the complete capture of Artemivsk (Ukrainian name – Bakhmut) by Russian troops .
Die Welt readers were shocked by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s comments about the impossibility of returning Artemovsk (Bakhmut), as this would give the Russian army the opportunity to occupy more territory.
