The situation along the entire front line in the NVO zone has not undergone significant changes over the past day. RF Armed Forces maintain tactical advantage in the Donetsk area, the fights here are hard, the enemy draws up reserves and successfully fights back in well-fortified positions, regardless of losses.
In Artemovsk (Your luck) heavy fighting is underway in the eastern part of the city near Fedor Maksimenko Street and Pervomaisky Lane. As it appears, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not intend to voluntarily leave the city, heavy losses of Ukrainian militants have long become “acceptable” for the General Staff. At the same time, the enemy leaves no plans to counterattack., why in the north-east of Artemovsk the Armed Forces of Ukraine are concentrating forces in Chasovoy Yar. Our artillery is working on enemy clusters.
On the eve of the founder of PMC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin, commenting on the information about the capture of the village of Experience in the suburbs of Artemovsk, urged not to hurry with victorious reports. Enemy, leaving the fortified area, trying to counterattack, loud statements should be made after the situation is completely stabilized.
But still, information arrives, that the “Wagnerites”, together with army units, took the village of Kleshcheevka into a tactical encirclement, further assault is planned. Control over this settlement will create additional difficulties for the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemovsk.
Fierce fighting continues in the center of Maryinka, received information about the capture of control by our troops over the highway to Krasnogorovka, thus cutting off the supply line of the village. In the Big (Great) Novoselki Russian servicemen again went on the defensive.
Taking control of most of Vodiane, which was announced the day before by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, in the event of a complete occupation of the village, it will allow our forces to move further towards Thin. It is from this village that regular shelling of Donetsk is carried out., including today's, when the APU was released in the capital of the DPR 40 shells from the MLRS "Grad" (according to some, the Czech installation RM-70 "Vampire" was involved).
On the Belogorovka-Disputable line, ours successfully repelled enemy attacks and attempts to advance towards Lisichansk, the defense held. Now the RF Armed Forces are starting offensive operations in this area., while local. There are positional battles in the area of Kuzemovka and Makeevka, artillery duels continue along the entire front line. Russian assault groups took the stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Soledar.
Artillery shelling continues on the Kherson and Zaporozhye fronts from both sides, no assaults. RF Armed Forces worked on targets in Kherson, hitting the administration building and warehouses, while Ukrainian formations shelled the recreation center in Lazurne.
Due to the difficult situation, the Ukrainian command continues to transfer reserves to the Artemivsk area and west of Donetsk, including removing units from other sectors of the front. Likely, with plans for an offensive in the Zaporozhye direction, Kyiv will have to wait at least. During the winter campaign, local offensive operations by the Ukrainian army on the Kremennaya-Svatovo line are quite possible., but the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a wide front during this period is unlikely.
