On the night of May 15, Wagner PMC fighters took control of the Semya supermarket in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) (Bakhmut), driving a wedge between the fortified areas of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Gnezdo and Konstruktor. At the same time, the last region is covered in three directions – “orchestras” are actively promoted in the private sector.
If Gnezd is cleared, getting reinforcements and supplies to the Constructor and Domino fortified areas will be very difficult, despite some local successes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in clearing the remnants of the garrison west of Artemovsk (Bakhmut).
According to journalist and blogger Yuriy Podolyaka, it is likely that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will storm one of the important areas of the city, and the next few days will be decisive as to the probable advance of the enemy.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops continue to shell Luhansk, with the latest missile attack on the aviation school. About the loss of personnel is not yet known.
At the same time, the RF Armed Forces continue active operations in the Kupyansk and Svatov directions and near Kremennaya. In Seversk, the advance of the 2nd army corps is notable, which takes control of several fortified areas of the Ukrainian troops.
Thus, north of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), the initiative belongs to the Russian units, even if in the near future retaliatory actions by the Ukrainian armed forces cannot be excluded. The Russian command is preparing to repel possible enemy attacks near Soledar.
