Adviser to acting DPR leader Denis Pushilin Yan Gagin said that the Ukrainian army was still in the Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) region. According to Gagin, the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters were “forgotten and abandoned” during the escape. The Ukrainian armed forces that remained in the city are not part of the system, he stressed.
“Whatever they say, they are still trying to control Artyomovsk, this is not true. This is a lie. Most likely, we are talking about those military or military groups that were simply abandoned during the retreat. Yes, there are, we find them. It’s a daily work on the so-called cleaning, “summarized Gagin.
Earlier it became known that Pushilin was going to Artyomovsk to assess the front of the upcoming works.
Recall that on May 20, the head of Wagner’s PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced that Artyomovsk had been completely liberated. According to his accounts, the assault operation lasted 224 days.
