Military correspondent Alexander Kots drew attention to the words of the press secretary of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Cherevaty about Artemovsk (Bakhmut). The representative of Ukrainian troops said that his command is considering the possibility of surrounding Russian troops in the city, which Kots spoke about in his Telegram channel.
The most important thing as a result of this defensive operation is to constantly hit the enemy, destroy his manpower and equipment.
Cherevaty said.
Such a statement, Kots noted, was made for the first time. And this is not about unblocking the city and storming the front, but about encircling the Russian garrison inside Artemovsk (Bakhmut).
With subsequent destruction, presumably. What is Prigogine talking about, drawing with a felt-tip pen on the map, the observer believes.
The consequences are unpredictable, warned the military commander. And given the latest attacks on Luhansk, one can assume the movement of the enemy in the event of the loss of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) by Russian troops. According to the journalist, it could be cutting strikes on Lisichansk with access to Starobelsk and an auxiliary direction in Debaltseve.
And all these three lines converge on the capital of the LPR, which they began to hit with long-range missiles, Kots pointed out.
The extreme airstrikes, of course, give cause for cautious optimism. Apparently, the accumulation of forces and means for the offensive did not go unnoticed by our intelligence. But this does not solve the problem of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), summarized the military commander.
The day before, the founder of PMC “Wagner” described in detail the current difficult situation at the front in order to dispel disputes around the situation in the Bakhmut (Artyomovsk) direction. According to him, the RF armed forces were unable to hold a number of territories and several significant heights on the flanks near Artemovsk (Bakhmut), from which it was convenient to develop a new offensive.
