Finally just a bit of encouraging news
he tactical environment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut): what is known at the moment
After mopping up Blagodatny, Krasnaya Gora, Paraskovievka, Berkhovka and Yagodnoye north of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), the front line shifts to the west. Gradually, there is an advance towards the area, which the military among themselves call the "rhombus" - this is the line of fortified areas between Grigorovka, Orekhovo-Vasilevka, Novomarkovo, Markov, Bogdanovka and Dubovo-Vasilevka.
There, the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to regroup after the loss of Berkhovka, and basically from there, disturbing fire is being fired at the units advancing on Artyomovsk from the north. In the same place, in the Novomarkov area, there is a road along which Chasov Yar is supplied from Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, bypassing the main E-40 highway, part of which is under the fire control of the RF Armed Forces.
Highway O-0506 Khromovo - Chasov Yar, which until recently was almost the only supply artery for the Artyomovsk garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is currently under the direct fire control of ATGM crews deployed on a number of dominant heights near Berkhovka.
The use of bypass roads is difficult due to bad weather. Temperature fluctuations and precipitation have washed away the coating, which neither wheeled nor tracked vehicles can move on.
To the south, in the Krasnoy (Ivanovskoye) area, there is an advance towards the APU oporniks, with the help of which the section of the T-0504 highway between Artyomovsk, Krasny, Nikolaevka and Chasovy Yar is held. The road itself has been under fire control for a month, but there is no physical control over it yet.
Under the fire control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the roads Bogdanovka - Kalinovka, Artyomovskoye - Chasov Yar, Stupochki - Konstantinovka, Konstantinovka - Belaya Gora, Konstantinovka - Dachnoye, Konstantinovka - Toretsk. In the area of Konstantinovka, the activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is higher than in the Bakhmutsky area - the enemy uses artillery of 152 and 155 mm caliber, actively works with Grads. The supply of the garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Chasovoy Yar is intermittent - artillery and aviation strikes have killed the railway track near the villages of Popasnoe and Stenki.
