Artyomovsk

"Practically the entire city is in the hands of our army. The most important thing is that our forces liberated the AZOM industrial zone a long time ago - this was the last difficult border. After that, the Bakhmut-1 station was captured. After that, the enemy had to retreat somewhat chaotically on ill-prepared lines," he said.

The flag was raised with the inscription "Good memory of Vladlen Tatarsky".
Prigozhin's comment was published on the Telegram channel of his press service.

Ukrainian soldiers said so in an interview with the newspaper "Strana.ua".
"It's almost impossible to survive a salvo of 'Solntsepek', no matter how deep you dig in. It burns everything possible," said one of the officers.

President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has dismissed the deputy head of the Ukrainian Security Service.

"We successfully occupied a hill, an elevation that was strategically important for that area. From that place, you can see the surroundings and all the access roads north of Bakhmut. We can see that those access roads can no longer be passed as the enemy would like," a member of "Wagner" group that performs a series of tasks in that direction told Sputnik.
