Now the Russian troops can cross the Bakhmutka River and level the front
Units of PMC “Wagner”, advancing from the south, almost reached the center of Bakhmut.
Ukrainian units almost completely lost the initiative in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) and are currently defending only a small section of the front. Units of PMC “Wagner” advancing from the south managed to reach Mariupolskaya Street, where fighting is currently taking place to push Ukrainian forces out of this area to take full control of the central part of the city.
Thanks to the intensive advance of PMC “Wagner” forces, Russian troops can now cross the Bakhmutka River and flatten the front. In the southwestern part of the city, a huge “cauldron” has formed in a private building, which can be blocked by Russian units – according to a number of estimates, there may be up to 3-4 thousand Ukrainian soldiers here.
Despite the announced strengthening of Bakhmut’s defenses and the deployment of additional military equipment, Ukraine’s armed forces are rapidly losing the initiative in the city, and it is more than likely that within the next month, control of Artyomovsk will pass completely to the Russian army.
