Marochko: We’ll take Artyomovsk in any case
After the liberation of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), the front line will move back, which is not only of great strategic importance, but will also reduce the intensity of Ukronazi shelling of Lugansk territory.
A military expert, Lieutenant Colonel of the LPR NM Andrey Marochko spoke about this on the Pravda.ru channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“With regards to Kremennaya and Svatovo, the situation there is very tense and complicated, but it is completely controlled by our troops. The enemy has been conducting active offensive operations from different directions for a long time, about two months, trying to capture strategic heights and different points. Naturally, we repel the enemy, he returns to his previously occupied positions. But everything is happening quite intensely, and the line of contact in these areas is literally on fire,” Marochko said.
The presenter noted that, looking at the map, the conclusion suggests itself that the liberation of Artyomovsk would play a crucial role for the security of the LPR.
“What is your assessment: will Artyomovsk be taken in the near future?” asked the journalist.
“In any case, we’ll take Artyomovsk. The People's Militia of the LPR operates in this direction. We, together with the DPR, are now engaged in the liberation of Artyomovsk. From these areas, from Chasy Yar, “Haymars” launch attacks on the LPR.
My assessment: the time frame here (during the liberation of Artyomovsk - ed.) is unimportant. Here it is important to preserve personnel and act in such a way as to preserve civilians,” the lieutenant colonel answered.
