Ukrainian Army Now Losing Positions Near Bakhmut, For Which It Fought For Six Months (Videos, Map Update)

Click to see full-size image

In recent days, the Russian military went on the offensive on the southern and northern flanks of the Artemovsk ( former Bakhmut) front. Ukrainian sources and military commanders confirm that Ukrainian forces are now loosing the territory for which they have been fighting since June.

To the south, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation entered launched counterattacks and approached the village Kleshcheevka. The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have been trying to break through the village and the railway to the east for several months. As a result of Russian attacks, Ukrainian forces were forced to retreat and abandon their positions to the north of the village and go to defense.

According to the latest reports from the front, after massive artillery shelling, Russian forces entered the ruined settlement and battles are ongoing in Klescheevka. The village is mainly in the gray zone. Since it was heavily damaged by the battles, there are almost no strongholds left in the buildings. The AFU are still in control of the dominant height to the west of Klescheevka. To claim control of the ruins of the village, the Russian military has to capture the height again and mop up the areas nearby.

The village of Andreevka is also in the grey zone, while Kurdyumovka remains under Russian control.

Several days ago, Russian forces also launched attacks north of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) and the Ukrainian command was forced to transfer some forces from the southern flank to the north. As a result, Ukrainian defense near Klescheevka and Andreevka was weakened. The recent attacks from Berkhovka allowed the Russian military to advance 1.5 km in the area of the water reservoir and approach Bogdanovka.

One of the main reasons for the Russian tactical successes in the Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) region is likely Russian advance around Avdeevka in the Donetsk direction. The threat of encirclement forced the AFU command to transfer part of the reserves of the Artemovsk grouping to the Avdeevka direction. It its turn, the Russian military took advantage of the situation.

a message to eric the nafo troll:

nbc (u.s mainstream media) is now reporting:

“u.s and european officials are now quietly talking to the ukrainian government about what possible peace negotiations with russia might entail to end the war, according to one current senior u.s official and one former senior u.s official.”

just watched a 2 hour documentary on western tv about “ukrainain war fatigue” and how nobody believes they can win anymore.

my expectation is that they’ll keep the war going in some capacity but there will be less shilling from the western media.

for the most part it’s about depopulation now. ukrainian men are already dead, now they’re coming for the women.

russia needs to depopulate all the retarded ukranian commanders that are sending these soldiers most these days plucked from the streets against their will to the front lines.

250+billion$$ & 250k dead ukrainian later, zelensky & biden have nothing 2 show for. netanyahu & his ultrarightwing illegal settling regime take precedent. the us is about 2 fight 2 the last us soldier for israel-zionist-supremacists. it’ll kill more americans than the lost wars in iraq, afghanistan & syria put together & it’ll cost +20 trillion: so much for conservatism & the us deficit, the illegal settlements got 2 be the most expensive realstate in $$ & us blood

spot on. i have been watching online rabbis and they have been preaching for the destruction of edom and esav europe and america for months now. they will gladly throw the us and europe in wars thst lead to self destruction all to make their insane prohpecies come true. we nees to wake up and stop helping the zionists make peace with russia restore the balance trough diplomacy.

i will talk for france. my country is under zionist control. we can’t stop helping the zionist without a really bloody revolution. for exemple the gvt and all the political establishment organise a rally next sunday against “antisemitism”. if a politician refise to join he will be labelled as “hamas suppprter” and discretly prosecuted..

where are the ‘yellow jackets’ in this? they should be front and centre if real justice is their goal. the french working masses must come out and act and begin to throw out the profiteers and exploiters of the people of all countries.

Ian

keep in mind the working class is not anti semetic, the distinction must be made between anti semetic and anti zionsim. i am not jewish but i am antizionist

w polsce jest podobnie jak we francji, polacy są za rosją i za wolną palestyną, ale rząd jest syjonistyczny

yellow jackets? don’t forget that the movement was crushed by a quite brutal repression: thousand of people wounded, more than a hundred severely, many people also got prosecuted, unlawful arrests were the norm etc.

USA the world's bully.

i think this time in the me it will be a bombing war like libya, not an invasion with ground troops like iraq. usa will just seek to destroy all of iran’s energy installatioms to deprive china of energy.

then russia can sell more oil to china and with all that extra money they can go all the way to poland. putin wins.
