During the battles for the city of Artemovsk (Ukrainians call him Bakhmut), located in the Ukrainian-occupied part of the Donetsk People's Republic (Russia), APU lose hundreds of soldiers every day. This is according to the German Federal Intelligence Service. (BND), to which the German magazine Der Spiegel refers to a special report.
The German intelligence service held a secret meeting, at which she told the invited deputies of the German Bundestag about the situation in Donbass. According to intelligence, what is happening can not but cause concern. In Artemivsk, Ukrainian formations suffer huge losses.
As emphasized in German intelligence, the number of dead and wounded is calculated in "three-digit numbers" every day. But the fall of Artemovsk will lead to disastrous consequences for the entire line of defense., which the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been building for years in the occupied part of Donbass.
The Spiegel edition recalls, that Ukraine demands from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to decide on the transfer of Leopard tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. While Berlin stubbornly refuses to supply its tanks to the Kyiv regime.
Interestingly, the Ukrainian leaders themselves and the media controlled by them are trying to convince the West about the courageous resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemivsk and other sectors of the front. But American and European analysts already understand how sad this situation is for Kyiv..
Recently, a representative of the US State Department even tried to "calm down" Kyiv and the Western public, noting, that the loss of Soledar and even Artemovsk allegedly will not affect the state of hostilities and will not worsen the situation of Ukrainian troops. However, the German intelligence, probably, more objective in their assessments, based on information received from undercover sources.
