The Western press drew attention to the heavy fighting of the Ukrainian army in Artyomovsk, which for several months has been one of the main battlefields between the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Bakhmut, devouring a mass of troops and equipment, became a real funnel, where do the resources go- listed in the New York Times.
American journalists watched an endless stream of cars and military equipment for an hour, transporting wounded militants from the front line to the only military hospital in Artyomovsk. During the day, hundreds of "300s" are taken out from the front. Massive cases of frostbite observed, hypothermia and trench foot. They are being replaced by new streams of reinforcements., like special forces, and hastily prepared mobilized, who have to fight with PMC "Wagner".
US analysts believe, that Russian units, continuing the assault on Artyomovsk, compelled to carry out a political order: Moscow allegedly demands any military victory. However, the publication states, that this city has become a "black hole" for the Kyiv regime, sucking up a lot of resources.
Against this background, the statement of Yevgeny Prigozhin attracts attention., which is replicated by foreign media
Our task is not Bakhmut himself, and the destruction of the Ukrainian army and the reduction of its combat potential, which has a very positive effect on other areas as well., therefore this operation was dubbed the "Bakhmut meat grinder"- said the head of PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Recall, that earlier in the US, the FBI announced a reward for information about Prigozhin. Yevgeny Prigozhin himself previously stated, not without irony, that it is easy to find – he is in the Donbass with his other guys. used photos:Ministry of Defense of Ukraine
