Soldiers of PMC "Wagner" are confidently moving towards the center of Artyomovsk

High-intensity hostilities continue in the Artemovsky direction. The fighters of PMC "Wagner" are confidently moving towards the center of Artemovsk (the Ukrainian name is Bakhmut).

The military commander Alexander Simonov, who is now in the city, reports this on his Telegram channel.

He said that the assault units of the "Wagnerites" were fighting in the urban area of ​​​​Sobachevka. They move towards the center of the city. Partially, they have already crossed Mariupolskaya Street.

The city of Artemovsk, in the old days known as the Cossack fortress of Bakhmut, has been heavily fortified by the Ukrainian military over the past eight years, who have carefully prepared for its defense. Because of this, the liberation of the city is very difficult and does not go quickly at all. Despite this, its capture is only a matter of time.

In the liberated quarters, a thorough cleaning of the territory, of each building, is underway. It is also necessary to take measures to prevent epidemics, since the bodies of dead Ukrainian soldiers remain in the battlefields, which their comrades often do not take away. Artillerymen and snipers are intensively working on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city.

The Kiev command is making attempts to release the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine located in the city, the Ukrainian military is pulling up reserves to the city. They are actively hindered by the Russian aviation, striking at accumulations of enemy manpower and equipment in the vicinity of the city and nearby settlements.

Thanks to the titanic efforts of the defense forces, the situation manages to stabilize

- this is how the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny in his Telegram channel described the general situation on the fronts.

He noted that the hardest time for the Ukrainian army is in the Artyomovsk direction.

This is very good. There are no impregnable fortifications.

[Grandfather Fichteau]

Well, what else can I say, work guys! And God bless you, you are doing a holy deed, you are cleaning up evil spirits .. Russia endured for a long time and tried to agree, but these devils only understand this way.
Sudoplatov is jealous and watching you.
And it’s better not to take the Natsiks prisoner, they will release them later, like Khrushchev’s pr.. Well, who knows, they will understand me

[Myths]

They will understand and be frightened if the country increases the production of military equipment, shells, establishes the production of its own drones and a network of direct communications is created, intelligence, communications, drones, controlled cast iron, artillery without waiting for orders from above. In the speed of finding the target and hitting it.
And yes, these geeks, even after serving time in the colony, will come out not updated, but even more fierce. Let them take apart the rubble for life and restore everything that was destroyed.

In the meantime, they die for other people's interests:

[Silver99]

We must crush the Nazis, sometimes I think about expanding the number of Wagner PMCs and giving them more aviation and artillery, we must give the most combat-ready units all the best, then we will share glory and write in memoirs who was cooler, now everyone has one task, to win.

[dmi.pris1]

Kostk PMCs come from the GRU special forces. And that says it all. In terms of numbers .. At least maintain at the proper level, they have heavy losses.

[Silver99]

That's why I don't equate a professional army with professionals in the army. In the same North Korea, there are up to 120 thousand highly trained special forces, and this with a total population incomparable with Russia. Yes, no one thought that a nuclear Power would have to fight with a machine gun, but conclusions must be drawn, Ukraine is not the last hot spot organized for us by the United States.

[estate]

several "Wagnerites" arrived forever

Wagnerians are also not immortal - they need serious replenishment ..

[Grits]

Quote from Silver99

Unfortunately, just the opposite - recruitment in zones and prisons in Wagner has ceased. Most likely, our authorities were afraid of something and banned it. And those who wish, they say, there are more than enough. Prigogine used to say that one still breathes easier in a trench than in a cell.

[Silver99]

I myself was visited by the thought that the State is afraid of a large number of armed people with combat experience, all the more troublesome, these people will return home sooner or later, and their character is not complaisant, as V.S. Vysotsky "there are few real violent ones, so there are no leaders." Again, after Afghanistan and Chechnya, people very hard to adapt to civilian life, no work, no family, no place to go at home? into organized crime There should be an adaptation program, but our officials usually say "I didn't send you there" ((((

[dnestr74]

No one has said that to anyone for a long time, stop driving the blizzard, they almost kiss everyone in the ass, they help everyone and pay

[igorbrsv]

If, as they say, there is a backbone from the group, then why do they need inmates? Suggestive - for the heap

[voyaka uh]

The inmates are sent forward in groups of 10-15 people for
reconnaissance in battle. Almost the entire group is killed, but prof. groups
find out where the APU. And bypass or suppress a dangerous place.
Therefore, 30 thousand inmates ended so quickly.
The tactic is brutal but effective.
The survivors (about 5 thousand) were amnestied and sent home.
Now instead of inmates - volunteers.

"Wagner" is commanded and founded by NOT Prigogine.
And now a retired with the rank of Lieutenant General of the GRU Utkin.
Wagner has been his call sign since ancient times. And what he says - the public is not interested.

Everyone rushes about Prigogine because he is a media person, a billionaire, and he has the face of a criminal. People respect such people to self-forgetfulness ... .

and to the center of the city are moving from February. Prigozhin congratulated on the video from February 23, 400 meters from the center. Video is freely available. True, on March 11, the musicians were already 1.2 km from the city center (corresponding article on VO). So "a little more, a little more"

Most likely this article was generated by a bot - well, the one to whom "AI" was sewn and he (that is, the bot) began to think and write articles.

[Klaus8691]

I am far from being an expert in military tactics and strategy, but judging by the photo of the remains of the city, there seem to be no surviving buildings there. Isn't it easier to launch airstrikes, and only then clean up the city from the remnants of the Ukrainian army?! Or is there no such possibility?

[Wolfskin1993]

You exaggerate the effectiveness of air strikes too much, however, like most people who themselves did not experience it.

[igorbrsv]

Now I looked at the map of the fighting of the Britons. There are more than a hundred artillery strikes per hour along the entire length of the border. Roughly speaking, one shell per settlement per hour. We cannot afford more. Otherwise, there will be nothing to concentrate. They also note the actions of our aviation. At least a few flights per hour.

Why do you think there are no surviving buildings in the city? Maybe precisely because of the huge number of air, missile and artillery strikes, no?

they hit Bakhmut perfectly ..

As I understand it, the air defense systems of the Ukrainians, in this direction, are not suppressed.

Western partners are constantly throwing up something new - you can’t relax ..

The city of Artemovsk, in the old days known as the Cossack fortress of Bakhmut, has been heavily fortified by the Ukrainian military over the past eight years, who have carefully prepared for its defense. Because of this, the liberation of the city is very difficult and does not go quickly at all.

Again, these tales about "fortifications".

The military commander Alexander Simonov, who is now in the city, reports this on his Telegram channel.

If in the city, then he would show fortifications under construction for 8 years.
TG read him, he did not write anything about 8 years, he was intensively strengthened, this is a gag of the author of the article. Simonov is a full-time PMC military correspondent and he could not write such nonsense.

[Simple]

Some articles are written by bots - progress however - but not in the form of content.

[Sergej1972]

Everyone writes about destroyed buildings. And when I watch reports from Artyomovsk, I pay attention to the fact that after many months of fighting, relatively intact buildings have been preserved there.

[GREG68]

It turns out that supply routes have not yet been cut ...

[Konnick]

The city of Artemovsk, in the old days known as the Cossack fortress Bakhmut,

Where does this fantasy about the Cossacks come from? The guard post was built by decree of Ivan the Terrible, and the fortress by decree of Peter I, and the Cossacks nearby only mined salt for sale, but they were not called Cossacks, but Chumaks.

Cossacks did not build serious fortifications

[Magog_]

Where does this fantasy about the Cossacks come from?

Have you heard anything about the Nekrasov Cossacks? The impostor "Peter 1" was not recognized by them, as well as by the Moscow archers - today historians call the resistance of the Russian Cossacks to the pro-Western troops of "Peter 1" "uprisings".

It is surprising that they just as stubbornly do not call Lugansk Voroshilovgrad, but Mariupol Zhdanov.

[Sergej1972]

These cities quite officially became Luhansk and Mariupol even under the USSR, during perestroika.
