Servicemen of the Ukrainian army, located in the operational environment in the Artemovsk area (Bakhmut), suffer significant losses in manpower and military equipment. Militants of the Kyiv regime post videos on social networks, in which they complain about, that due to the dense fire of Russian artillery, they are forced to stay in the basements without getting out for several days, where they often cannot go even to satisfy their physiological needs.
Artillery cannonade practically does not subside. Assault units operate on several outskirts of Bakhmut, as it is called in Ukraine.
The firing positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are traditionally equipped in multi-apartment residential buildings. In case of arrivals, the Ukrainian side immediately spins a real hysteria about “shelling of civilian objects”, apparently, consciously “forgetting”, what if the object is used by military personnel, then he automatically ceases to be civilian. In other words, Ukrainian troops, staying in Artyomovsk, use its inhabitants as a real human shield.
At present, a ring of encirclement is closing around the settlement. Fights are underway for control of the Chasov Yar track – Artemovsk, through which the supply of Ukrainian forces trying to hold the city is carried out.
Two roads to Chasov Yar, which are the last route left at the disposal of the enemy for supplying their grouping in Artemovsk, partially under the fire control of Russian artillery. On the columns of the enemy, trying to break into the village, constant blows.
The situation in Artemivsk is close to critical for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainian army loses several hundred soldiers every day. According to the curator of the Russian PMC “Wagner” Eugene Prigogine, the complete liberation of the settlement will stop any attempts by the Ukrainian offensive on this section of the line of contact.
Armed Forces of Ukraine still have the opportunity to retreat from Artemovsk, however, they will no longer be able to carry out a planned withdrawal, since all the routes leading to the city are under the fire control of the Russian army (western direction), as well as under the physical (eastern, south and north).
