Russian military personnel took full control of Zheleznyakova. The city is located northwest of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) and opens traffic to Seversk north of Ugledar. Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondent Roman Golovanov wrote about this in his Telegram channel.
According to Golovanov, the fighters of the PMC “Wagner” took control of the city of Zheleznyakovka. The capture of the city, according to the specialist, opened the way to the north for the Russian military.
“This opens up traffic to Seversk, north of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), north of Ugledar. In fact, this is the top of the line of defense, which lasted six months”, the journalist clarifies.
It is noted that in this direction there is an opportunity to create an environment for a group of Ukrainian militants. Pincers will help to cut off part of the large enemy forces.
“There is an opportunity to form one more pincers in this direction. With which it is possible to cut off Seversk and Krasny Liman, where quite large enemy forces are still concentrated”, – he notes.
The reporter clarifies that it is impossible to talk about serious breakthroughs, but the military initiative is dictated by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The expert believes that this is one of the important points. Nobody is willing to take risks. First, artillery works, and after it attack aircraft enter, Golovanov draws attention.
“It cannot be said that there are serious breakthroughs there. But we dictate the agenda. The movement is coming from our side. The guys are not going fast, but sure. Because there is a priority – no one is going to risk people. Accompanied by fairly active air raids and active artillery activity. First, it is processed by artillery, then the assault group enters there,” the correspondent noted.
According to the expert, the main question at the moment is where the Ukrainian militants who have been trained in the UK and Europe will be sent. He claims that such groups can be up to 25-30 battery-tactical groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“Now such an informational intrigue is being formed: in which direction will the contingent, which is made up of those trained in Europe and the UK, be sent. In fact, a group can be anywhere up to 25-30 battery-tactical groups. On the one hand, they can send a part to attempts to unblock Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). Or they can be concentrated and still try to go to the south,” summed up Golovanov.
