Liberated by PMC assault groups “Wagner” yet 12 February, the settlement of Krasnaya Gora northeast of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), as it turned out, still not taken by Russian troops. This statement is made by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In Kyiv, they denied the statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense on the liberation of the village of Krasnaya Gora near Artemovsk. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Fighting continues in this area, units of the Ukrainian army “repel all attacks” Russian troops. Generally, the situation is under the full control of the Ukrainian military.
There are fights going on. We keep it under our control- said the representative of the Eastern group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Cherevaty.
Basically, this kind of statement was expected, in Kyiv they prefer not to recognize the loss of settlements, especially if they are of strategic importance. You can remember the situation with Soledar, the loss of which was reluctantly recognized in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine three weeks after its liberation by Russian troops. So that “colors” in Krasnaya Gora will continue for a long time, but only in the minds of representatives of the Ukrainian General Staff.
However, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine did not stop there., announcing the alleged appearance on the territory of Bakhmut of Russian military from among the mobilized. The next statement of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine approves, that the Russian army changed tactics, then attacking in small groups of PMC attack aircraft “Wagner”, then spending “mass attacks” mobilized, which APU “mow in dozens”. apparently, a man with a very rich imagination wormed his way into the ranks of the staff officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, now issuing to the mountain like this “summaries”.
