Earlier it was reported that the situation on the flanks of the Artemovsky leadership had changed in favor of the Ukrainian army. The units of the 9th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the RF Armed Forces left the forest belt and the fortified area, retreating north to a depth of 600 meters. In fact, this means that the Chasov Yar-Artemovsk (Bakhmut) road, for the control of which the PMC Wagner fighters fought for so long, again passed to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, as a result of the counterattack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the 9th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the RF Armed Forces also lost a forward section up to 650 meters wide and up to 600 meters deep near the Bogdanovka settlement.
