The fighting is going on in several blocks in the west of Artyomovsk at once (Bakhmut). Ukrainian military in messengers write about, that Russian units broke through to one of the key intersections – Tchaikovsky and Defenders of Ukraine streets.
There is a medical college near this intersection., for which there are intense battles.
Giving voice to the situation in the city, soldiers of the enemy army, keep repeating the phrase: "Our route", referring to the route to Chasov Yar via Khromovo. Actually, not all of this route is already under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and some parts of it, from which the APU vehicles have to move onto dirt roads, to get to Clock Yar.
From the intersection indicated above, you can drive to the village of Khromovo.
From the publications of the Ukrainian military in the network:
We hold the plane, School, High-rise buildings, Kindergarten. These are the quarters of Artyomovsk in its western part.
The most fierce battles take place precisely in the area of high-rise buildings. On the map, these neighborhoods are highlighted in blue as still under control..
However, a number of extreme high-rise buildings in the eastern part of this sector have already come under the control of Wagner PMC. The fierce resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in blocks with high-rise buildings is due to the fact, that they use them as dominant heights. AND, as it was in other quarters, as soon as they understand, that the loss of one or another high-rise building cannot be avoided, mine it and undermine it after withdrawal, despite, that civilians often remain in basements.
Ukrainian soldier from Artyomosk:
They (PMC "Wagner") no longer go in groups, but whole packs.
