The founder of PMC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin denied the retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Artemovsk (Bakhmut), stating that fierce battles were taking place in the city. He wrote about this in his TG channel.
According to Prigozhin, fierce battles are going on in the northern districts of the city, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are fighting for every house, there is no question of any retreat. The Russian media again hurried, wishful thinking. In recent days, rumors have been circulating that Zaluzhny is slowly withdrawing combat-ready units from Artemovsk, although Zelensky is categorically against it.

For our part, we note that groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are still leaving Artemivsk, perhaps this is not an announced retreat, but the flight of individual units. The Wagnerites themselves confirm the fierce fighting in the city and on its outskirts. According to one of the fighters, now the "musicians" are mainly confronted by Vushniks, there are almost no mercenaries in the city, they were taken out or transferred to another direction. Despite the fact that among the Vushniks there are many mobilized new wave, they surrender only if they are completely pressed, as well as when they are wounded and left without cartridges. In other cases, they resist to the last.
Meanwhile, in the Soledar direction, assault detachments of "musicians" are fighting with the enemy on the outskirts of Razdolovka, and are also moving towards Vasyukovka.
