According to him, in four new Russian subjects – the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions – this spring and summer, the recruitment of conscripts will not be carried out at all. Moreover, recruits will not be sent to serve in these regions of the Russian Federation, as the deputy said, “until further notice.”Kartapolov explained why such a decision was made. “The reasons are clear. A special military operation is going on there. They have no business there,” the MP said. “When the situation is normal, we will come back to the question of the possibility of conscription from these regions”.Conscripted soldiers will not be sent for military service in the new regions of the Russian Federation, said Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma Defense CommitteeMeanwhile, quite optimistic news came yesterday from one of the most important points on the NVO map – from Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . Acting DPR chief Denis Pushilin said on Channel One that very soon it will be possible to talk about the real encirclement of this city. All the roads leading to it are already under fire control from the Russian forces.Captured in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) , Andriy Krivozub of the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said during interrogation that the Ukrainian command had been forced to use underground communications to deliver supplies and ammunition to the local garrison – they s extend to Chasy Yar. Nevertheless, ammunition and support are still not enough. Krivozub admitted that, among other things, for this reason the soldiers of his reconnaissance company decided to surrender to the Russians.
Consider these fighters lucky – they survived. And the Kiev regime has prepared a different fate for many of their colleagues. Reports about the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Artemovsk (Bakhmut) region are increasing day by day. If earlier it was reported on the ground that on average Ukrainian units had about 200 personnel per day, now the number has risen to 500. These are both sanitary and irrecoverable losses.Nevertheless, the Ukrainian command still does not lose hope of unblocking Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . Why, like a kind of ambulance, he sends his elite units into battle, including professional sabotage and reconnaissance groups. By distinctive features, it can be understood that saboteurs belong to the special operations forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.According to the acting head of the DPR, there is a clear advance of Russian forces in the direction of Maryinsky. “The Krasno-Limansky direction is more difficult. Nevertheless, we see some improvement in positions there,” Denis Pushilin said.

His report draws attention to the significantly increased daily losses of the Ukrainian armed forces in personnel – about 600 servicemen and a solid list of enemy targets hit.The general, in particular, said that a self-propelled firing system of the Ukrainian Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile system was destroyed near Grebennikovka in the Sumy region. Near Olgovka in the Kherson region – an ammunition warehouse of the 126th defense brigade.
And near Zaliznychny in Zaporizhzhia the blow fell on the fuel storage of the 102nd defense brigade.“Air defense systems shot down a Ukrainian Air Force Mi-8 helicopter near the village of Temirovka, Zaporizhzhia region,” General Igor Konashenkov reported.In addition, a Grom-2 tactical missile and three American-made MLRS HIMARS rockets were intercepted.Near Novoandreevka and Zeleny Gay in the DPR, our military shot down two more enemy drones.
