President of Ukraine Zelensky said that after Artemivsk, the Russian army would open the way to Slavyansk and Kramatorsk

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Ukrainian army would do everything to avoid the complete encirclement of Bakhmut (Artemivsk).

In an interview with the American television channel CNN, Zelensky said that, despite the desire to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers stationed in the Bakhmut area, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will do everything possible to try to unblock the city.

He also added that by delaying the defense of this settlement, the Ukrainian army gets the time necessary to prepare for a large-scale counterattack on the Zaporozhye region, the purpose of which is to cut the land corridor to Crimea and disrupt the logistics of Russian forces.

The retention of Artemovsk is a purely political decision of the Ukrainian regime. Despite the significant losses of the Ukrainian army in this section of the line of contact and the almost complete blocking of all supply routes for the city’s garrison by the Russian PMC Wagner, the Ukrainian command, under pressure from the country’s political leadership, intends to send reserves from other directions to try to unblock Artemivsk, in particular, Kupyansky and Zaporizhzhya.

Left without supplies, Ukrainian servicemen are forced to leave the city in small groups at night through fields and dirt roads, but these actions are hampered by the uninterrupted work of Russian artillery and spring thaw. The militants of the Kyiv regime are often forced to abandon equipment bogged down in the mud, which is literally strewn with the fields adjacent to Artemivsk.

It will open and let's go, why should we wipe our pants in the Genital Headquarters. Left Bank and Odessa are our everything. And there is the right bank nearby. By the way, the mud is wild, and it rains every day or night like

by order of the heavenly office. Snowdrops adore such weather, dirt a meter into the ground.

First you need to take Artyomovsk and be ready to repel a counterattack.

The Ukrainian Telegram channel "Resident" reports, citing its source in the President's Office, that Zelensky demanded that Zaluzhny publicly support the operation in Bakhmut. The Office of the President wants to avoid a negative information wave and shift the focus of decision-making from politicians to the military. However, at the headquarters, Zaluzhny did not support Syrsky’s plan, due to weather conditions, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to counterattack the enemy and may fall into fire bags, now there is impenetrable mud around Bakhmut, and the commander of the ground forces proposes to repeat the Kharkov operation with deep penetrating strikes on the flanks. By a majority of votes, Syrsky’s plan to strengthen the APU grouping in Konstantinovka / Chasov Yar / Slavyansk / Seversk was adopted to strike at Russian troops. And this despite the fact that the morale of the defenders of Bakhmut is very low, the soldiers do not understand why to throw all new reserves if the city does not carry strategic significance, but only political, why such sacrifices. But Syrsky assures Zelensky of the ability to push the Russian army back from the Konstantinovka-Bakhmut road and fully supply the city, as well as conduct counterattacks in three sectors of the front, which will allow pushing back the Wagner PMC .On Bankova they want to use the battle for Bakhmut as a personal decision of the president to stand for every meter of Ukrainian land, the Resident notes.

Yesterday I read this article on CNN, fucked with "logical" constructions of phrases.
Like "Bakhmut himself is not of strategic importance, but his surrender will open the way for Russia to many cities in eastern Ukraine." And all this in one sentence.
And after all, people eat it normally, not everyone spit.

After "Artemovsk (good luck to all our fighters), the next fortified line will rise. Chasov Yar is the first of them. But when this happens, it's not clear

[Boniface]

We took Artyomovsk with a fight, we passed the whole city,
And read the last street name,
And the name is, right, the word battle:
Kyiv street goes through the city -
So it’s our way there,
So we are there

[Petr_Koldunov]

So "we will do everything to avoid defeat"? Or "we will push back the Russians, release Bakhmut and go on the counteroffensive"? Agree, these messages are categorically different in emotional mood ...

[nsws3]

With the Koklyatsky snipers, I also propose to act, as in Chechnya, in the 95th, in the 99th with the Baltic hunters. TNT checker 75 grams in the most popular (there is just the right diameter) place and in the scrap (backford cord for a minute to think about life). Hurry to shrink.

Initially, the Bakhmutovskaya group was 40 thousand, now 10. This is taking into account the rotation, somewhere in the region of 50 thousand killed. Attacks on ticks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will cost the same figure. Total 100 thousand irretrievable losses. This is the minimum. I have a question for the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Do you need it?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Over the past hundred years, Ukraine has done so much, seized land from Poland, Austria-Hungary, Romania and then from Russia itself. From the realization of his own greatness, his head began to spin. And you tell them about the losses, here they have the whole universe at stake, which is about to fall prostrate before them, moreover, together with NATO.

Everyone is talking about the Ukrainian counteroffensive. This is already perceived by everyone as something indisputable. Ukrainians, in a sense, have become hostages of this situation. Like it or not, but you have to make a counterattack. And then the allies will not understand where the money goes.

[tihonmarine]

Fighting continues on the southern outskirts of the city near Independence Street, as well as in the southwest near the Lesnoye cooperative and the MiG-17 stella.
At the same time, the Ukrainian command continues to partially withdraw troops from the city along dirt roads under constant artillery shelling and air strikes.
From the vicinity of Bogdanovka, Krasnoye, Khromovo, Ukrainian assault detachments continue to attempt a counteroffensive to maintain a land corridor from Bakhmut to Chasov Yar and Konstantinovka.
In two settlements, advanced ammunition depots are being equipped and personnel are being deployed, and reinforcements have been deployed to the cities themselves.

[Rumata]

Glonass advanced ammunition depots for the SVR secret?
Ali Gerani ran out?

[Ryaruav]

why unblock? what kind of blockade are you talking about? the generals are riding back and forth along the supposedly shot through road, there are some misunderstandings going on there and even the Wagner is silent like a fish

[Rumata]

The cities were on fire - it was the 23rd year
The army of dill went forward like a wedge
An army of thousands of tanks with crosses on their armor
Proudly advanced towards our trap

Under the cover of night, aiming into the darkness from the cabins
Crews of tanks walked for kilometers of mines
Easy walk turned into hell
Our trap will be slammed - they have no way back

The end is near for this war
And soon fall Ukro Reich
Russia is on fire
But we will prevail!

Deep into our Motherland is a Nazi march
The enemy is doomed and soon our anger will know
Together, shoulder to shoulder, we will fight to the death
In the battle with dill under the Maryinskaya arc

Mother Rus', we are proud of you
Brotherhood
Mother Rus', we are proud of you
The Red Army goes into battle again

[sifgame]

of course it will open, the genius of military thought Mlyn
