Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] 1. There is no operational environment yet. One road is still not taken under fire control. Ammunition and replenishment are thrown into the city along it.
2. At the same time, the city is already seriously covered from the north and south. From the south, the battles approached Chasov Yar and the Stupochka area, and there are also battles for Krasnoe.
To the north, after the capture of Krasnaya Gora, the battles for Paraskovievka continue and fighting began on the outskirts of Berkhovka. The Slavayansk-Artemovsk highway has been physically cut. The Armed Forces of Ukraine deny that they have lost Krasnaya Gora.
At the same time, PMC Wagner has already posted confirming photos and videos from there. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have not uploaded any videos from there for several days. Actually, as in the case of Soledar, they will break a comedy about the "continued defense" for several days, and then, as if by chance, it will be mentioned that yes, as if they moved away from there to more advantageous positions.
3. In the city itself, there is also progress in the southern and northeastern quarters of the city. To the south through the area of ​​​​the Mariupol cemetery and Sabachevka, to the north near the Meat Processing Plant. The pressure from the north will increase after the liberation of Paraskovievka (plus the armories will come under our control)
4. The enemy at the moment is really going to carry out the order to hold the city at any cost, regardless of catastrophic losses. Some of the rear units and headquarters have been withdrawn to Chasov Yar and beyond, but ammunition and reinforcements continue to be transferred to the city. The key to liberating the city is to establish fire control over the last road from the Clock of Yar, after which the group defending the city, in which the proportion of Volkssturm units is high, will begin to lose combat capability much faster and experience problems with BC to heavy weapons.
5. Prigozhin confirmed the information about the defeat of the Su-24 bomber in the Artemovsk area. He clarified that the car was hit, but was able to reach the airfield. The pilots are alive.
"Yes, indeed, it was this board that was attacked today from the ground by enemy air defense systems. The pilot performed a miracle, landed a burning car, having fully completed the combat mission. At the moment, technicians are repairing the aircraft. The pilot is handsome. Honor and praise be to him." (c) Prigogine
That's great.
