The final stage of the battle for Bakhmut has already begun.

After PMC "Wagner" managed to successfully take control of two thirds of Bakhmut (Artyomovsk), tons of shells began to fall on the defensive positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This led to serious losses among the Ukrainian troops, and, among other things, also ensured the destruction of the defense lines erected earlier. All this has demoralized the Ukrainian military, and the latter are already actively complaining that they can no longer keep the city under their control.

On the video footage published on the Web, you can see the consequences of attacks on the defensive lines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut. Most of the buildings used to control the situation have either been reduced to rubble or burned to the ground. Strikes on the territory of the city continue virtually non-stop, which in turn does not allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to carry out the defense of the central and western parts of the city.

This morning it also became known that the subdivisions of the Wagner PMC managed to completely take control of the territory of the Artyomovsk Metal Processing Plant enterprise, having completed the cleaning of the plant’s underground communications that began a few weeks ago.
