Servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine complain that in Artyomovsk they often cannot leave the basements
The servicemen of the Ukrainian army, who are in the operational encirclement in the area of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), suffer significant losses in manpower and military equipment. The militants of the Kyiv regime post videos on social networks in which they complain that due to the heavy fire of Russian artillery, they are forced to stay in basements without getting out for several days, from which they often cannot even get out to satisfy their physiological needs.
Artillery cannonade practically does not subside. Assault units operate on several outskirts of Bakhmut, as it is called in Ukraine.
The firing positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are traditionally equipped in multi-apartment residential buildings. In the event of arrivals, the Ukrainian side immediately spins a real hysteria about "shelling civilian objects", apparently deliberately "forgetting" that if the object is used by military personnel, then it automatically ceases to be civilian. In other words, the Ukrainian troops, staying in Artyomovsk, use its inhabitants as a real human shield.
At present, a ring of encirclement is closing around the settlement. Fights are underway for control of the Chasov Yar - Artemovsk highway, along which Ukrainian forces trying to hold the city are being supplied.
The two roads to Chasov Yar, which are the last remaining route for the enemy to supply their group in Artemovsk, are partially under the fire control of Russian artillery. Enemy columns trying to break into the settlement are subjected to constant blows.
The situation in Artemovsk is close to critical for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainian army loses several hundred servicemen every day. According to the curator of the Russian PMC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin, the complete liberation of the settlement will stop any attempts by the Ukrainian offensive on this section of the contact line.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine still have the opportunity to retreat from Artemovsk, but they will no longer be able to carry out a planned withdrawal, since all the routes leading to the city are both under fire control of the Russian army (western direction) and under physical control (eastern, southern and northern).
