Assault units of the Wagner PMC liberated Orekhovov-Vasilyevka from the Armed Forces of Ukraine and reached the outskirts of Zaliznyansky
Assault detachments of PMC "Wagner" advancing north of Artemovsk took control of the settlement of Orekhovo-Vasilevka, located just 15 km from Chasovoy Yar. The village is currently being cleared. However, the information is not official, there has been no confirmation from either the "Orchestra" or Prigogine.
According to reports, which are confirmed by several independent sources at once, the attack aircraft of the "musicians" entered Orekhovo-Vasilyevka tonight. In addition, the "Orchestra" units reached the outskirts of Zaliznyansky, located a little to the northeast. Now in both settlements there are fights. As Yury Podolyaka writes in his TG channel, Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, in fact, is a fortified area of the second line of defense built along the watershed between the Slavic-Kramatorsk and Bakhmut-Soledar agglomerations.
In addition to successes north of Artemovsk, the "Orchestra" has also had successes in the Khromovo area. As reported, the previous evening the "musicians" physically reached the Artemovsk - Chasov Yar highway, which runs through this village, cutting it off completely. Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces have no paved roads left for evacuation and transfer of reserves. There is still a network of field roads, but the muddy conditions put a big cross on their use.
In Artemovsk itself, the "Wagnerites" continue to squeeze the enemy out of the city. Now the offensive is coming from two directions, the main efforts are thrown at the liberation of the territory of the AZOM plant. "Musicians" came at him immediately from the north and from the south, trying to pincer the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remaining there. It is noted that the advance is also going on in the south, between the "plane" stele, blown up by Ukrainian nationalists, and Ivanovsky, despite the fierce resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
