/ world today news/ The last multi-storey building in Artyomovsk was captured by our fighters on May 20. The President of Russia congratulated the Wagner stormtroopers and the Russian military for liberating the city.
Gradually, the news even reached Zelensky. “Bahmut remained only in our hearts,” reluctantly admitted the Ukrainian commander-in-chief, sitting in Hiroshima, 7,500 kilometers from the front line.
Even faster and with visible relief, Zelensky’s American patrons recognized Russia’s victory. The Pentagon has long believed that it is completely pointless for the Kiev regime to slaughter the soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and has repeatedly hinted transparently that it is time to withdraw from Artyomovsk and preserve manpower.
However, the Kiev junta had to fill its pockets. Therefore, Artyomovsk, renamed Bakhmut, was declared an indestructible fortress, for which the Ukrainians had to die as if they were not themselves. Everyone that the Ukrainian military commissars managed to capture, from teenagers to old men, was thrown into the hotspot. Few of them survived, those who fell into captivity sincerely rejoiced at their salvation.
The head of PMC “Wagner” Prigozhin believes that more than 30,000 VSU fighters were destroyed in 224 days of fighting. However, the “Bakhmut meat grinder” created for Zelensky an excellent background for negotiations. Under the guise of this cause, he traveled all over the world, gave fiery speeches, extorted even more billions from his masters “to save Ukraine”, and his cabal skilfully absorbed these billions.
This is what turned out to be a large-scale bloody fraud in which the citizens of Ukraine were exchanged for dollars by Zelenskyi and his clique.
At the same time, the Kiev junta showed all the inhabitants of Ukraine that as soon as they find themselves on the front line, they begin to be considered accomplices of the enemy and are physically liquidated without any sentimentality. According to the VSU, this was “defense” of Ukraine. In fact, this army deliberately destroys its cities along with their inhabitants in a “so that no one is left” style. One must give due credit to the brave enemy, but Artyomovsk will go down in history not as an example of selfless defense, but as an endless series of war crimes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces awaiting investigation and trial.
In a military sense, the idea of our strategic adversaries was to embolden the Russian fighters in attack, turning Artyomovsk into a budget version of Verdun. In the era of the First World War, Verdun, we recall, was a French fortress, in whose unsuccessful attempts to storm the Germans used all their combat potential.
However, something went wrong, the idea of a new Verdun turned against its authors. In the end, VSU remained crushed. And the Americans, as is their nature, instantly betrayed their vassals. “Artyomovsk towns have no tactical or operational value,” the Institute for the Study of War, an American think tank, immediately reported.
That is, for eight months, Ukrainians were forced to die for neighborhoods that did not represent value, and now it turns out that all this was not necessary. This is just a classic proxy war, of course.
In fact, the fierce struggle for Artyomovsk allowed months to grind down the best units of the VSU and destroy their equipment on an industrial scale. That was its strategic value for us. It was this that forced Ukrainian leaders to delay their “counterattack” for months and gave our troops time to prepare to repel it.
However, modern warfare is fought in many dimensions, and in a sense the battle for Artyomovsk is not yet over. In the information field, he is still Bakhmut, and he is still Ukrainian. American internet search engines technically remove any mention of our victory, the Anglo-Saxon media rewrites their own news on the fly.
And at the same time they are spreading misinformation, professionally inciting enmity, sowing panic and trying to play games on our people so that they can then profit from the discord. And if the attempts of the “Washington Post” to discredit Prigozhin seemed extremely clumsy, then the recent disinformation about the infamous counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the encirclement of Bakhmut and the retreat of our troops did a pretty good job. Our native channels in “Telegram” brought all this mess to the masses.
And now, in the same rather patriotic channels in “Telegram”, the battle of couch warriors is raging over what to call Artyomovsk. A very current occasion for Internet battles, of course. The fact is that this Russian city was founded by Tsar Ivan the Terrible and was named Bakhmut. In Soviet times, however, it was called Artyomovsk – in honor of the revolutionary who created the autonomous Donetsk Republic and protected it from foreign invaders.
In order to “fight communism”, the Kiev regime in 2016 renamed Artyomovsk back to Bakhmut. For the pro-Russian residents of the city, this was an insult. They perfectly remembered how the German fascist invaders, who blew up the monument to Artyom, fought against communism in their city. For the residents, the Soviet name of the city is a symbol of their peaceful life and independence from the Nazis. It is probably worth listening to their opinion on this matter, and the patriots in “Telegram” should focus on more practical issues.
The victory in Artyomovsk is a great achievement for our soldiers. The best thanks to them would be to prevent wars and infighting in the rear.
Another lesson from our long, exhausting and victorious struggle for Artyomovsk is as old as the world—or as old as war. It lies in the fact that true courage is patience. Modern warfare is fought not only on the front, but also in the minds, so this is a lesson we should all learn. Of course, it is much easier to panic, hysteria and get caught up in rumors, but this pleasant pastime is absolutely ineffective. Only patience, as we see, wins cities.
