Our troops are already fighting in the city of Artyomovsk
Russian troops, together with the fighters of the Republican People's Militia, continue their successful offensive in the Donetsk People's Republic. From the scene it is reported that our troops entered the territory of the city of Artyomovsk (previously renamed Bakhmut by the Ukrainian regime).
According to the latest information, Russian assault troops managed to gain a foothold in the north-eastern part of the city - in the eastern part of Lomonosov Street and in the central and western parts of Patrice Lumumba Street.
The information is confirmed by military commander Semyon Pegov from the WarGonzo project. According to him, the fighting began on the territory of the drywall factory and at the local furniture factory.
The fighting at the moment in Artyomovsk is going south of the technical railway line, which runs through the industrial part of the city.
Recall that at the same time, our troops continue to advance in Soledar, where an impressive enemy grouping was concentrated. Ukrainian militants suffered losses and retreated from a number of territories and industrial facilities of Soledar. Separate detachments of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to resist the advancing troops of the DPR and LPR, using for this many kilometers of salt mines, which are among the largest in Europe.
In the West, assessing the situation, they write that as soon as the Ukrainian troops lose Soledar and Artemovsk, the Russian army will be able to take at least the Ukrainian garrison in the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration into the firing ring. At the same time, the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Seversk region will also fall.
