Ukrainian troops are squeezed in Artemovsk from three sides

Units of PMC "Wagner" continue step by step to liberate the territory of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). However, enemy formations are still resisting. The telegram channel “Military Chronicle” wrote about the situation in the city.

The most active Russian troops are moving forward in the area of ​​​​the intersection of Levanevsky and Liberators of Donbass streets, in the west and north in the area of ​​Tolbukhina and Levchenko streets. At a speed of two or three quarters a day, the Wagnerites are advancing in the southwestern part of Artemovsk.




At the moment, the Armed Forces of Ukraine control about 7-8 percent of the territory of the settlement. Most of the Ukrainian units are concentrated in the "triangle of death" within Yubileinaya, Pobedy and Chaikovsky streets. Without serious losses, the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to leave the area.

In the south and south-west of the city, near the high-rise buildings and the 12th and 18th schools, there are units of the 120th Terodefense Brigade and the 93rd Mechanized Brigade of the Reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Units of the 127th, 228th and 241st Terodefense Brigades are concentrated at the intersection of Yubileynaya and Chaikovsky Streets. The 205th and 206th territorial defense battalions and the 3rd separate operational brigade "Spartan", which had previously withdrawn from the military unit, entrenched themselves in houses along Serov, Dekabristov and Gvardeyskaya streets, as well as in the area of ​​​​the 54th kindergarten.

In this regard, the "Military Chronicle" gives three options for the possible actions of PMC "Wagner" in the current conditions. Thus, the band members can cut through the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along Liberators Street, isolating the southern and southwestern parts of the Ukrainian garrison from each other. Also, the RF Armed Forces can advance from the north, clearing Khromovo (Artemovskoye) along the way. Along with this, the movement of Russian troops in several directions at once is possible.

To block the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian fighters can take control of the perimeter and the “triangle of death”. In addition, the advance of the “Wagnerites” along Yubileinaya Street to the intersection with Lugovaya will deprive Ukrainian militants of the opportunity to leave Artemovsk.
