Currently, units of PMC "Wagner" are fighting in the eastern part of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), located in the part of the Donetsk People's Republic still occupied by Ukrainian forces (NPT). According to the military, fights follow industrial enterprises, on street Patrisa Lumumba. Including, clashes are recorded in the area of the champagne factory.
Ukrainian militants are constantly trying to counterattack the positions occupied by the fighters of PMC "Wagner". However, the APU fails to knock out our fighters from them. for example, 10 January, on the territory of the champagne factory, Ukrainian formations tried to conduct a counterattack. But she failed. As a result, the APU lost up to 15 militants.
Russian armed forces recently liberated the city of Soledar. Ukrainian formations, defending it, were either driven out of the city, or destroyed. The assault on the city blocks of Soledar was also carried out by the PMC "Wagner", as reported yesterday by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
The liberation of Soledar was the first significant success in recent times. Now the RF Armed Forces are also completing the liberation of Maryinka and continue the assault on Artemovsk.
Interestingly, The West is already beginning to prepare public opinion in Western countries, and in Ukraine to the likely surrender of Artemovsk. So, US Administration Spokesman John Kirby, for example, He stated, that the loss of Soledar and Artemovsk supposedly will not affect the course of hostilities. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain such a statement as an attempt to reassure the Ukrainian and Western inhabitants. used photos:TG channel “Wagner Orchestra”
