Ukrainian troops no longer control Bakhmut. This statement was made by the Ukrainian President during the G7 summit in Hiroshima. Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s statement is quoted by the Sky News channel.
At the so-called G7 summit, the question was posed to the Ukrainian president: “Is Bakhmut under the control of Ukrainian forces?”
I do not think so. For now, it only exists in our hearts.
said Volodymyr Zelensyy.
This statement can be considered an official recognition of the defeat of the Ukrainian army in the battle of Artemivsk.
It should be noted that until recently, Ukrainian propaganda, despite the statement of the founder of the PMC Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation about the capture of the city, continued to claim that Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to defend Artemivsk.
But after the declaration of the Ukrainian president, the propagandists of the Kyiv regime will have to admit the obvious.
However, something else is also evident. Ukraine will certainly try to take revenge for such a sensitive military defeat. No matter what the propagandists repeat about the unimportantness of the defense of Artemivsk for the whole military campaign, the collapse of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this sector of the front may jeopardize the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army .
Ukrainian politicians and generals will certainly try to prevent this. This means that in the near future we can expect the activation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, both on the flanks of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) and in other directions of the line of contact.
