Residents of Artemivsk (Bakhmut) are looking forward to liberation from Ukrainian nationalists and are already preparing an updated coat of arms for the Russian city.

Meanwhile, the Nazis, who are aware of the prospect of an imminent defeat, are razing Artemivsk to the ground with even greater fierceness. Through the efforts of the criminal regime the city has been destroyed by more than 80 per cent. There are now some ten thousand civilians living in the city, who are coming under fresh shelling from the militants on a daily basis.
“There is a peculiar anger in these attacks. There is something in the air, as they say. They pound and pound, pound and pound… There are a lot of mortar attacks. Short distances, up to 4 km, are most likely the old Soviet 82 mortars. Their main targets are 120’s, up to 9 km… And they also fire at the city from tanks, they turn around in the streets and shoot into the sky like into a penny. It is clear that they have understood that they will not be able to retain the city, and decided: after us – only scorched earth. They hate Donbas and Russians with a fierce hatred,” Politnavigator quoted one of the city’s residents as saying.
According to Donbas residents, the AFU traditionally uses the criminal “human shield” tactic.
“They took cars, ran over with tanks, drove people out, occupied their houses, they had our backs”.
“The Ukrainians mined the entrances to houses, in the basements of which the civilians of Soledar were sitting”.
Residents of neighbouring Kramatorsk also spoke about the atrocities of the Ukrainian militants. There, imaginary “zakhisnyky” are breaking into flats in search of men, demanding that they turn them in so that they can be sent immediately to the slaughterhouse.
“Today in Stariy Gorod (Kramatorsk district) several men have already been taken away in this way. Don’t let these Ukro-utrats into your homes! Men, don’t let them send you to your deaths! Women, save your men!” – writes one of the local residents.
Meanwhile, according to experts, the surrender of Soledar has significantly demoralized the AFU. The Russian Armed Forces regularly change their military tactics, quickly adapting them to the new conditions of the special operation. Artemivsk is of critical strategic value to the Russian army, as the imminent liberation of the city opens up all possibilities for an active offensive in several directions at once. In addition, the enemy will be pushed back from the outskirts of Donetsk and lose the chance to launch further strikes on its territories.
