Battle For Bakhmut: Military Overview On February 20, 2023 (Video 18+)

Wagner fighters in Paraskovievka

On February 20, the Russian Ministry of Defence confirmed Russian control of the town of Paraskovievka located on the north-western outskirts of the city of Bakhmut (originally called Artyomovsk). The report of the Russian Defence Ministry indicates the end of the mop up operation in the settlement. Head of the Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed control of Paraskovievka on February 17.

“The settlement of Paraskovievka is under full control of the units of the PMC “Wagner”. Despite the blockade of ammunition, despite heavy losses and bloody battles, the guys completely occupied the entire territory of Paraskovievka. Thank them! Heroes!” Prigozhin claimed.

Less than a week ago, Wagner fighters took control of the village of Krasna Gora located on the heights on the eastern outskirts of Paraskovievka and few days laters they encircled the town itself. As a result, the Ukrainian garrison in Paraskovievka was doomed. LINK

Wagner fighters in Krasna Gora

According to unconfirmed reports, the town was defended by the Ukrainian grouping of about 1,500 servicemen, including units of the 125th Territorial Defense Brigade, the 24th Mechanized and 57th Motorized Infantry Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result of heavy battles, Ukrainian forces suffered heavy casualties and the so-called Northern Bakhmut grouping of the AFU was destroyed.

The video shows Wagner fighters at the railway station in the village of Paraskovievka near the Volodarsky Mine in the central part of Paraskovievka. The facility was captured in several hours. As a result of the Wagner’s assault, the grouping af about 100 Ukrainian servicemen was destroyed. About 40% of Ukrainian grouping deployed near the station were reportedly killed.

 

 

Wagner fighters did not stop their advance on the northwestern outskirts of Bakhmut. After they cut off the highway from Bakhmut to Slavyansk, battle fo the village of Berhovka located to the south-west of Paraskovievka began. Clashes are already ongoing in the north-eastern districts of the village. Russian forces took control of a strategically important position on a hill north of Berkhovka and Dubovo-Vasilevka, which will facilitate the storming and encirclement of the settlements.

In case of encirclement, units of the Ukrainian 61st Jaeger, 77th airmobile, 24th mechanized and 57th motorized infantry brigades will be reportedly destroyed. The Ukrainian military is urgently transferring units of the 17th tank Brigade to Berkhovka in an attempt to stop Russian advance.

Wagner forces have already reached the northern outskirts of Yagodnoe, where the fighting broke out on the northern outskirts of the village.

Any military supplies of the Ukrainian grouping in Bakhmut along the roads on the north-western outskirts were cut off.

The Ukrainian military attempt to transfer any reserves to Bakhmut across the frozen fields to the west of the city, but this area as well as all the roads leading to the city are very dangerous and are already under fire control of Russian forces.

Ukrainian servicemen evacuate two wounded soldiers in the Bakhmut region:

 

 

In the city of Bakhmut, Wagner fighters are breaking through Ukrainian defences in the northed districts. In recent days, they reportedly enlarged their zone of control near the Stupka railway station. In the eastern districts of the city, Wagner assault groups are advancing along Vatutina street. They took control of several districts and reached the Rostovskoe cemetery. In the southern district of Bakhmut, Wagner fighters continue fighting in the Budenovka district.

To the south of Bakhmut, Ukrainian forces have managed to push Wagner fighters back from their positions along the Bakhmut-Konstantinovka highway. Fighting is ongoing near the road.

The Ukrainian military reportedly launched successful counter offensive operation amid the lack of military supplies to the Wagner units. LINK. However, the military logistics problems did not stop Wagner fighters from their advance in other areas.

On February 20, head of the Wagner PMC claimed that the issue of military supplies was yet to be resolved. His fighters continue their assault despite any obstacles.

Ukrainian military sources confirm their defeat on the north-western outskirts of the city, claiming that the AFU are suffering heavy losses in Bakhmut. “At best every tenth of the original combat personnel of the forces defending the city remained in Bakhmut.” Thus, only 10% of the initial grouping formed for the defense of Bakhmut is still fighting in the area. The Ukrainian military command is forces to transfer additional forces across the fields and along the roads which are heavily shelled by Russian artillery in an attempt to defend the city.

btw, The Grand Mosque was desecrated on 1979.01.20 1400.Muharram.01 when 313 Ikhwani were Martyred, mostly by drowning in bloodied water.

Khomeini (The Khorasani) didnt realize what happened that day, but Bin Laden (The Yamani) did, and mentioned that The Grand Mosque had been desecrated.

Only one of them could be right about this day, a day of Significance.

A City defendend by 100.000 military personel. Yea, I would say its even a miracle that they were able to do that all in 6 months. Plus I dont get whats your point with Sleepy joe in Kiev, what did you think the russians have any interest in drone bombing him into pieces and start wwIII (just as the US didn’t bombed putin when he went to Damascus) specially now that everything is working on their favor? They are not idiots, no matter how hard you want them to do it so your “side” can end this world out of shame, hate and spite for losing hold on the unipolar world order

What is ur point? Russians are trying to surround the city not take it directly.

Pompei

my comment was deleted. i haven’t said anything false or ofensive. great job fsb. lol. trying to surround for 6 months. you don’t understand that every day that passes is in kiev advantage. they get trained and they get better equipment every day. if russians stayed 6 months in bahmut now, they will stay 2 years in kramatorsk.

V for victory

Just by curiosity: why the ‘ammo blockade’ is going on? And where are the ordinary russian forces?

Wagners are on rampage

Wagner forces just like any other Special type of force are designed to storm positions and wait on the normal infantry guys to arrive, in this case the Wagner fighters have stormed and taken the positions of Ukrainians by killing them and making them beg for mercy and waiting on regular Russian troops to arrive, the Wagner are in other words “Russian Hardliners”.

Pompei

blockade because russians are fags and prefer to be humiliated and castrated on the front instead of doing things right. shoigu might be sado maso.

Terrun

Disgusting, all this unnecessary human carnage, for what!? Biden, Obama and their handlers are the worst kind of war criminal scum!

You forget that the US is controlled by pretend members of a minor religion who’s members originated in eastern Europe, and who play the anti s card if you ever dare to criticise them. Oy vey.

The cane from Eastern Europe and stole land everywhere. How is it possible for some one with white skin, blue or green eyes and blonde hair to originate from the Middle East? It’s insane that they say it with a straight face. 😂

Question: For any God fearing Russian. How did the Russian for profit mercs r us allow Russian soldiers to hold up a flag in English this far into Ukraine’s destruction going on a decade with the words “PMC Wagner Group” across the top of it?… Better still… How the fuck did it come to be recognized as “Wagner Group” and not “‘Интернационал военизированных формирований” “Group”???…

Guess there is a whole lot we still don’t know about “Wagner Group”!…

Wagners are a phenomenal fighting force ! Even that was stated by the ameriscunt imperialist officials some days ago….In Backmut front they fight against no more than 25 brigades of ukroshit rats. I know that 25 aren’t in full capacity because the grinding machine worked very hard on theirs ranks in the last year, but anyway they fight against at least 15 FULL BRIGADES manpower and that’s COLOSSAL. Prigozhin was right after all, if there had been another 2 ‘Wagner’ force in KUKraine reich, by now all the russians would have washed socks in Dniepr river. By the way…..fascist piano-faggot Cocalanski is in desperate mode: Kadarov stated today that he start to establish a mercenary organization in Chechenya, on the Wagner model. Now, Ukropizdan you’re FUCKED ! All the muslims from entire middle east and Asia will flock to Kadarov and is needless to say what kind of warriors they are …………….ask the ukrotards about Mariupol, and Lisichansk
