Russian landing force went to Bakhmut - Ukrainian Armed Forces speaker
In Artemovsk, units of the Wagner PMC storming the city are reinforced by regular Russian troops.
A PolitNavigator correspondent reports this, during a mandatory telethon broadcast on Ukrainian television channels, the speaker of the Eastern Group of Armed Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Sergei Cherevaty, said.
“The main strike force remains the Wagner PMC. However, due to huge losses every day and due to the fact that they cannot replenish their ranks at the same speed as before, including from former prisoners, we see that they are being strengthened by units of the regular army, first of all , airborne troops,” says a representative of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to him, the Russian Armed Forces provide artillery and air support to the Wagnerites.
It is difficult to say to what extent the information voiced by Cherevaty corresponds to reality, but the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, recently announced that interaction with the Russian Armed Forces has recently been established, although he previously made critical comments on this matter.
At the same time, Ukrainian military resources, based on an analysis of videos published by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, admitted that battles were already taking place in the center of Artemovsk, by publishing the corresponding map with geolocation reference.
