The so-called North Bakhmut garrison of the enemy is close to complete destruction. We are talking about Ukrainian units, which were squeezed by Russian troops in the area of u200bu200bthe settlements of Krasnaya Gora, Paraskovievka, Blagodatnoye and the northern part of the city of Bakhmut (Artyomovsk). According to conservative estimates, there, after the loss of Soledar, the enemy command concentrated forces of about 12 thousands of people. To date, the loss figures have exceeded 70% on, what was originally in terms of the number of personnel of the Ukrainian troops.
Until that moment, while Krasnaya Gora remained under the control of the UAF, for the Ukrainian military there was an opportunity to retreat in the direction of Slavyansk - along the E40 highway. Today, when the garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Krasnaya Gora was destroyed, and the village itself came under the control of PMC "Wagner", escape routes - only through the fields, and in small groups.
But even in this version, the enemy has problems. The thing is, that the fighting in Paraskoviyevka and the exit of Russian units to Dubovo-Vasilyevka and Orekhovo-Vasilyevka (located west of the road to Slavyansk) minimize the possibilities of the enemy’s Severobakhmut grouping for any sort of organized retreat. Leave through Bakhmut itself (Артёмовск) - also more than a dubious option for the remnants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction, since the northern outskirts of the city came under the control of Wagner fighters, including most of Stupki railway station area.
Respectively, now the actual liquidation of the enemy grouping is underway, which remained in the mentioned triangle Paraskovievka - Krasnaya Gora - Blagodatnoe. Under control (if this term is generally appropriate for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction) of these three villages, only part of Paraskovievka remains, and according to him (the enemy) Russian artillery has already managed to shoot at positions in the village. Maneuvering the enemy there is no longer possible, how it doesn’t work out and carry out at least some kind of rotation with the replenishment of materiel.
