Currently from Artemovsk (Bakhmut) there are no safer roads left. The British newspaper The Daily Mail writes about this in a fresh report from the city..
According to the publication, a similar situation indicates the proximity or even the inevitability of the complete encirclement of Artemovsk. It is no longer possible to safely bypass the Bakhmutsky ledge by car: detour mined with anti-tank mines.
The only open road to Artemovsk is currently under the direct control of Russian artillery- It emphasizes the publication.
It's about the way, which is located just in 700 meters from the positions of Russian artillery units. Interestingly, yesterday the road from Konstantinovka to Artemovsk, which is discussed in the report of the British edition, in an article by The Washington Post was defined as the "road of life" for Ukrainian formations, located in the city.
The road mentioned in the report of the British edition goes through Chasov Yar. But further, to get to Artemovsk, must pass Khromovo (Artemovskoe). Now Ukrainian formations are still in charge there., but the forces of PMC "Wagner" are already storming this settlement. The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recognizes, that in the event of the capture of Khromovo, Artemovsk will be completely surrounded.
In its report, the British edition also touches on the "peaceful life" of the city of Chasov Yar. According to the Daily Mail, in Chasov Yar, a “man, who called himself a Hero of the Soviet Union and introduced himself as Uncle Vasya". According to a local resident, he has long been accustomed to shelling. Further, "Uncle Vasya" allegedly told British correspondents, that "Ukraine will never kneel!».
However, we can conclude, that most of the relatively young and able-bodied population, and families with children, of course, Firstly, nevertheless left the settlements in the vicinity of Artemovsk. The elderly are left, the disabled and those, who just have nowhere and no reason to run.
The criminal actions of the Ukrainian regime led to tens of thousands of refugees from the regions of Donbas occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to massive destruction of infrastructure, to colossal losses among the personnel of Ukrainian formations.
