The enemy resists fiercely in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) (Bakhmut), but units of the PMC “Wagner” methodically push the Ukrainian militants out of the city. This was stated in an interview with the RTVI telegram channel by military commander Yuri Kotenok.
The Russian army is actively operating from the western direction. At the same time, not all routes to the city can be controlled, because there are small dirt roads that try to use the APU to transport ammunition, although it becomes increasingly difficult to do so. TO DO.
Meanwhile, the “Wagnerians” continue to drive the Ukronazis out of town, fighting for every house. The situation is complicated by the fact that the buildings are equipped with underground communications that Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers can use to counterattack or wait for artillery strikes.
Along with this, in the area of ​​Chasov Yar and Aleksandrovka, the enemy has concentrated its reserves, including units with armored vehicles. Its purpose in this case is to unblock the consolidation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Artemivsk. However, given the active work of Russian artillery and anti-tank guns, this will not be easy.
It is impossible to name terms for taking the city, all this can drag on for weeks. But in any case, most of the city, according to my information, is already under the control of Russian forces.
