Units of PMC "Wagner" storm Ivanovskoye, cutting it off from Artyomovsk and Konstantinovka
Assault groups of PMC "Wagner" are storming the positions of Ukrainian units in the village of Ivanovskoye (Krasnoye), effectively cutting it off both from Artemovsk (Bakhmut) itself and from Konstantinovka. In addition, the Wagnerites come to a fork in the road, control over which will allow them to cut the road to Chasov Yar.
According to the information available at the moment, Wagner attack aircraft and artillery blocked the "southern" road going through Ivanovskoye from Bakhmut to Konstantinovka, capturing part of Chasov Yar. The village itself is under fire, as Yuri Podolyaka said in his TG channel, the "musicians" are ironing the enemy's positions. Since the roads are cut, the retreat of the UAF, if it follows, will pass through the fields, which precludes the evacuation of armored vehicles. The reinforced 106th battalion of the 63rd Specialized Rifle Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was deployed to Ivanovskoye itself from Kramatorsk, the task of which is to prevent the breakthrough of Russian attack aircraft in the direction of Chasov Yar.
Now the second road remains under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, going through Khromovo directly to the northern part of Chasov Yar. According to it, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are still transferring reserves to Artemovsk. Although the Russian troops have not yet been able to cut it, they nevertheless took it under fire control.
The subdivisions of the "musicians" are not going on a decisive assault yet, but they are encircling Artemovsk from all sides more and more tightly. Now there is a situation where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are sorely lacking in reserves, attacks along the entire line of contact of the Russian army have forced the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to transfer the most combat-ready units to other areas. It is already known that part of the units of the Armed Forces U from Bakhmut was sent to the Ugledar region.
Yesterday, the "musicians" units were at a distance of one and a half kilometers from Ivanovskoye, advancing towards the village, taking Ukrainian oporniki along the way. During the day they apparently managed to cover the required distance and reach the village.
