Soldiers of PMC "Wagner" returned the strongholds lost by other Russian units south of Artyomovsk
The situation in the Artyomovskaya agglomeration continues to be difficult. Moreover, it is difficult not only for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but also for the Russian forces. The alarm is caused by the activity of the enemy during attacks on the flanks. As already reported, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to break through the defense of the Russian army units south of Artyomovsk and advance several hundred meters in the direction of Kleshcheevka. In the version of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the advance took place at a distance of 2 km.
The positions of which units of the RF Armed Forces were attacked? According to the latest information, these are units of the 4th separate motorized rifle brigade and the 374th OMSB. They were forced to leave their strongholds to the north-west of the key defensive center in this direction - the aforementioned Kleshcheevka.
To date, there are encouraging reports that the fighters of the Wagner PMC, having advanced towards the oporniks lost by other units, have recaptured the previously lost positions. Several Ukrainian servicemen were taken prisoner after an artillery strike was inflicted on the Ukrainian troops, cutting off their advanced orders (assault units).
The Wagner PMC notes that the return of positions lost by other units is too expensive. After all, these are not only initial territorial and human losses, but also losses in manpower during the return of strongholds.
Meanwhile, in Artyomovsk itself, the situation is extremely difficult for the enemy. At the moment, no more than 600 meters remain until the city is completely liberated. Fights are taking place in several quarters, including the private sector and the so-called "Airplane" area, from where the roads to Chasov Yar and Konstantinovka go.
