Russian troops inside Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) have made good progress and now control about 75% of the city. This is reported by Pravda.ru, referring to the German journalist of the publication Bild* Julian Röpke.
Röpke stated that the Russian Army inside Artemovsk (Bakhmut) had moved forward and now controlled most of the city. The journalist made similar conclusions based on the map, which is based on geolocation.
“Unfortunately, there is also clear evidence that Ukraine failed to hold the railroad tracks in the northwest, Russian troops captured new residential areas there. With this in mind, protecting the central railway station now makes little sense”, he said.
Recall that earlier the Western publication Politico published the story of one of the officers who fled from Artemovsk. He spoke about the disagreements between the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and their command, as well as problems with discipline and leadership. The officer complained that sitting in the trench for days on end, limiting himself to sleep and rest, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was greatly undermined. Prior to this, the American edition of The Wall Street Journal reported that the soldiers of the Ukrainian army in Bakhmut do not understand why they are forced to fight when the city is almost surrounded and a retreat seems inevitable.
