Now, retreating from Artemivsk, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are using a new tactic, the purpose of which is to hold back the advance of Wagner PMC assault groups for as long as possible.
Artemivsk is practically lost for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Ukrainians are well aware of this. Nevertheless, they use every opportunity to gain a foothold and for some time to be present on a patch of the city, holding back the Wagner PMC.
Thus, they try to slow down the advance of the Russians as much as possible, making it difficult to move forward in every possible way. For example, the Armed Forces of Ukraine burn tires inside the building to make it more difficult to get into the premises.
“There were cases when they deliberately covered everything around with hay and set it on fire,” says a fighter from the Wagner PMC.
Thanks to the acrid smoke that prevents Russian attack aircraft from entering the building, the Ukrainian military manages to leave it safely and remain unnoticed. According to military expert Alexei Leonkov, this tactic was chosen, among other things, after the Russian Aerospace Forces began to use planning bombs of the FAB-500 type against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, writes “AiF” .
