American TV channels continue to describe in sufficient detail what is happening in Artyomovsk. Moreover, the messages are published against the backdrop of statements by numerous experts about, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine "it would be advisable to leave Bakhmut (Артёмовск), otherwise, losses can demoralize the army and prevent the spring counteroffensive.".
Reported on CNN, in which American viewers were informed about the loss of control by Ukrainian troops over the eastern part of Bakhmut.
from the report:
Russian PMC "Wagner" took control of the eastern part of the city, setting your flag on the monument to the Soviet tank T-34. They dropped the Ukrainian flag from the monument, and now their flag is there. The monument to the Soviet tank is located in the park at the junction of Gorky and Nekrasov streets about 450 m from the bridge across Bakhmutka. The bridge is called Nikolaevsky.
However, the CNN report does not say, that Wagner raised its flag on the monument to the T-34 tank not today. As already reported, "Military Review", the Zabakhmutka area and other eastern quarters of Artyomovsk were liberated by Russian forces last week. To date, PMC "Wagner" is moving in the city from several directions at once, acting including in the south of the city - in the district, which the locals call Samolet - by the presence of a monument to the Soviet MiG-17 in it.
