On the western outskirts of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) fierce battles of the advancing assault units of PMC "Wagner" with Ukrainian formations continue, which still hold blocks of high-rise buildings. The Wagner Orchestra Telegram channel spoke about the battles for the area of houses on Tchaikovsky Street.
Not far from the Pedagogical Institute, on Tchaikovsky street, 23-25, courtyards of multi-storey residential buildings are located, known as the so-called "Book". Ukrainian formations turned these houses into fortified positions.
Open spaces in front of the houses were shot through by enemy snipers and machine gunners.. But the Russian fighters still stormed this fortified area., defended by militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. To storm positions in such houses, had to undermine the walls of houses, and then penetrate the houses through the ruins to the upper floors.
In front, they welded all the basements with bars, put up machine guns. Left one entrance, so that we run through it. And the rest of the walls were laid with bricks, left little holes there for the machine gunner. Grenades were thrown from the second floor. When you run, get into the ring- says one of the fighters of PMC "Wagner", participated in the assault on these positions.
Recall, that Russian forces already control most of Artemovsk. But Ukrainian formations still hold a small piece of the city outskirts in the west of Artemivsk - a block of high-rise buildings and the private sector. However, even according to the forecasts of the curator of PMC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin, it's about a few days, remaining until the liberation of Artemovsk. used photos:PMC Telegram channel “Wagner”
