Donetsk-sana
The Donetsk People's Republic authorities announced that Russian forces are making significant progress in the Artyomovsk region.
Igor Kimakovsky, advisor to the Acting Governor of the Republic, said on his channel on the Telegram website today: “The artillery is bombing the enemy forces, and in some areas they can no longer get out of the trenches, which is now evident in the direction of Donetsk, as the number of attacks on the city has decreased, which indicates that Our forces have begun to work more efficiently, as there is some progress in the direction of Avdiivka, and important progress in the direction of Artyomovsk.”
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced yesterday that the airborne units closed the entrances to the city of Solidar from the north and south, and that offensive detachments were fighting inside the city.
The importance of the situation in the Artyomovsk region is due to the fact that it will allow Russia to place its artillery forces in new locations, increase pressure on the Ukrainian supply lines leading to the city of Artyomovsk, and thus penetrate the front that extends on the Artyomovsk-Seversk line, as the city is located on a number of main roads in the region that allows it to be controlled. By moving towards the large cities, which are still controlled by Kyiv in the Donbass such as Slaviansk and Kramatorsk.
