Voenkor Yevgeny Poddubny in his Telegram channel said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine began the implementation of the previously planned operation to encircle and destroy the Russian group in Artemovsk (Bakhmut).
According to the military journalist, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Wagner PMC, warned about such a scenario more than once. Apparently, last night the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to implement their plan, which was planned earlier, but was repeatedly postponed due to weather conditions.
“I already wrote that the enemy plans to strike at the flanks to reach the rear of our forces, which are located in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) and the surrounding area,” Poddubny wrote.
His words were confirmed by the message of the military commander Alexander Simonov that the Ukrainians broke through to Berkhovka and Yagodnoye, forcing the Russians to retreat from their positions. Another blow was inflicted in the Kleshcheevka area, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to achieve similar success.
Also, according to the military correspondent, the Ukrainians were able to organize a breakthrough in the Soledar area. Through the efforts of several units and with the support of armored groups, each of which had two or three tanks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine worsened the state of affairs of the RF Armed Forces.
The notorious Telegram channel also spoke out on this topic. “Fisherman” . It was written in it that if the Russians fail to coordinate the actions of the Russian Defense Ministry and the Wagner PMC in Artemovsk (Bakhmut), then it will be harder to keep the flanks from the Ukrainians, and tightening the encirclement of the city will create the prospect of an enemy counteroffensive.
