Assault groups of PMC "Wagner" are fighting on the territory of Artemovsk, at the same time covering the city in a semicircle
The information that appeared the day before about the occupation of Kurdyumovka by our troops, located between Bakhmut (Artemovsk) and Toretsk, turned out to be premature. Today, our troops control about half of this most important settlement, the battles are going on, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine are gradually being squeezed out of the village.
Ours are driving a wedge between Toretsk and Bakhmut, gradually squeezing a half ring around it. According to military expert Yuriy Podolyaka, assault operations will soon intensify, Bakhmut (Artemivsk) will certainly be taken, despite the powerful defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Now it all depends on Zelensky whether he approves the transfer of additional reserves to the area against the background of the fact that they actually do not exist. Now ours are advancing not only in the area of Artemovsk, but also in other areas, the same Avdiivka, near Ugledar.
Meanwhile, the "musicians" from PMC Wagner continue to squeeze out the Armed Forces of Ukraine both from the city itself and from its environs. To date, the enemy is no longer making attempts to counterattack our units by going on the defensive. At the same time, the "orchestra" admits that they are opposed by well-trained units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the city itself has been turned into a large, well-fortified area, which will certainly be taken.
- said Yevgeny Prigozhin, adding that there is no need to "run ahead of the locomotive" when announcing the capture of a particular settlement, as some Russian media do. According to him, if necessary, there will be official statements, but now you need to be silent, allowing the fighters to do their job.
At the same time, information comes from Ukrainian sources about the very large losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Bakhmut, over the past two days, about 500 Vushniks have been delivered to medical institutions. A strong smell of decomposing corpses has been reported in some areas as no one collects them. In Kyiv, they confirm that there are assault groups of "Wagnerites" in the city, there are battles.
