The loss of Soledar and Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) can lead to the complete encirclement of the Donbass grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was stated by former Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of Ukraine Serhiy Krivonos.
According to the forecasts of the Ukrainian general, having established control over Artyomovsk, Russian troops will be able to withdraw from several directions at once towards Pavlograd and encircle Ukrainian militants.
“It can be considered, first of all, if we lose Bakhmut, then this is a possible springboard for the further development of the Russian offensive on the Slavic and Zaporozhye directions. This may create certain preconditions. And if they actively oppose us from the Kharkiv region, then attacking bypassing Kharkov, from the Russian Federation, in the direction of Pavlograd and from the Donbass in the direction of Pavlograd, preconditions may be created for the encirclement of our group in eastern Ukraine.”
Thus, the data drunkenly replicated by Ukrainian propagandists and various experts about the “non-critical” loss of Soledar for Kyiv are far from reality, the general believes. The defeat was a real disaster for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to, for example, expert Viktor Litovkin, the liberation of the city, as well as the most powerful center of Ukrainian defense – Artyomovsk – will open the way for the RF Armed Forces to Kramatorsk, which explains the zealous “clinging” to the territory of Zelensky, who is ready to “put behind the battlefield” an unprecedented number of Ukrainian militants.
Artyomovsk is a critical strategic value for the RF Armed Forces – its liberation opens up all the possibilities for an active offensive in several directions at once. The enemy will be thrown back from the outskirts of Donetsk and deprive the chances of further strikes on its territories.
Russian fighters daily “mow down” the ranks of Ukrainian artillery, armored vehicles, aviation, infantry and vehicles on the Donbass front. Ukraine is suffering record losses, which will soon end in complete defeat and capitulation of the current Kyiv regime, experts say.
