On September 12, Ukrainian military sources shared video of Ukrainian servicemen in the center of the village of Klescheevka located to the south of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). The Wagner flag is seen waving on one of the buildings there.
Ukrainian offensive on the southern flank of Artemovsk has been ongoing for about four months. During the fierce fighting, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) managed to entere the village of Klescheevka several times but were repelled by Russian forces. Prolonged battles for the heights on the outskirts still continue.
Over the past two weeks, the AFU have increased pressure in the area. As a result, the Ukrainian military again entered Klesheevka. They recently managed to advance from the southern outskirts towards the central part. The Russian military sources confirm that the control of village is divided almost equally.
The Wagner flag seen on the video shared by the AFU confirms that the Russian military is still in control of the building in the center and the warring sides are fighting for every house in the village.
Since the battle is still ongoing, a large part of Klescheevka remains in the grey zone, Russian forces are in control of the north-eastern outskirts while the AFU attempt to gain a foothold in the south.
According to the reports from the front, the AFU rely on heavy artillery fire, including with the massive use of cluster munitions, after which small Ukrainian assault groups launch the attacks on Russian positions. Heavy artillery duels complicate rotation of the military personnel of the both sides and transfer of supplies to the area.
just flatten the na-zi regime in kiev – schluss aus fertig
exactly, strategic bombing on liev, couple of nigts, that should end the war, simple.
god speed russia 🇷🇺 🙏 🙌
dúfam, že sa ruské vojská udržia. myslím, že teraz bojujú už proti vojskám zločineckej teroristickej organizácie nato, ktoré sú na ukrajine ako žoldnieri.
welcome to the death zone . just wishing they did not send in the forced mobilized on xtc. the endgame will be that russia owns the donbass again with or without odessa and karkhov.
odessa and karkhov have to be liberated end of story.
25,000,000 russians gave their lives in ww2…. and they have learned since then….. they have barely lost 50,000 dead.
russia could drag this war on for 10 years and by that time china and russia will rule the world.
the whole goal is to prevent the usa from attacking china until then.
russia could not give a fuck about ukraine and the donbass otherwise they would have taken both by now.
well said, cromwell.
just drop a foabs on the village.
raising a flag in a abandoned village will bring them $$$$$$,
