These two cities are used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine as places to concentrate reserves
The Russian army continues to strike military infrastructure sites, ammunition and fuel depots, military equipment and manpower accumulation sites of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the front zone and in the rear of the Kiev-controlled territory of Ukraine.
Information about an air alert in the eastern part of the country appeared on Ukrainian public pages. Literally a few minutes later, Kirovohrad, Cherkassy, Poltava and Sumy regions fell into the zone of possible destruction by Russian aviation, foreign agencies write.
Residents of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, located west of Artemovsk in the territory of the Donetsk Republic, controlled by the Ukrainian army, began to write about the sounds of sirens on social networks. Despite the ban on filming Russian strikes, footage of explosions in Kramatorsk appeared on the web.
Citizens reported that very loud explosions were heard, the windows of some houses were blown out. The points for the deployment of the armed forces of Ukraine, as well as the places for the deployment of military equipment, were hit.
The Kramatorsk-Slavyansk direction may become one of the main ones for the development of the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces after yesterday’s completion of the operation to liberate Bakhmut.
In addition, these two cities are used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine as places for the concentration of reserves, logistics centers, and here the so-called second line of defense is organized, which the Ukrainian military intends to retain after the departure of Bakhmut.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian propaganda, as expected, began to refute the announcement of PMC “Wagner” curator Yevgeny Prigozhin about the complete release of Bakhmut. Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense claims that the Bakhmut garrison is still fighting in buildings in the Samolet area. Obviously, the scenario of the virtual defense of Soledar, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly carried out a few weeks after the actual capture of the city by the “musicians”, is being repeated.
To date, our defenders control certain industrial and infrastructure sites in the district and the private sector, said Deputy Minister Anna Malyar.
It was echoed by the spokesman for the Eastern Group of Ukraine’s armed forces, Serhiy Cherevaty, who told Reuters in an interview that “Bakhmut is ours,” with Ukrainian units allegedly continuing to fight in the city.
All these statements are Ukrainian disinformation, including not to denigrate Zelensky’s visit to Hiroshima.
