The Ukrainian armed forces, continuing to resist in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) (Bakhmut), blew up one of their main strongholds in the southwest of the city, located in a nine-storey building. Before that, the Russian air force worked there very efficiently.
Footage of the destruction of the house is available on social media.
Earlier, Yevgeny Prigozhin announced that Wagner’s PMC would stop artillery shelling of enemy positions during a visit by American journalists to Artemovsk (Bakhmut). At the same time, the main “orchestrator” warned the Ukrainian side against the transfer of reserves with the foreign press – in this case, the troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be affected.
Meanwhile, many Ukrainian fighters leave the besieged city. According to the testimonies of civilians, soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces laid mines during the withdrawal from the house, evicting the inhabitants. Moreover, by forcing people to leave for the territory controlled by Kiev, the Ukrainian military destroys the houses of those who do not accept such conditions.
The day before, Russian troops took under fire control the last stretch of the road in the direction of Khromov (Artemovsky), which connects the Ukrainian garrison in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) with the outside world. This was announced by the acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.
