Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] In Artemovsk at midday 02.02.2023
1. There is no operational encirclement of the city yet. At least one road is available for use in the interests of supplying the Artyomovskaya grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Its interception should not be expected before the capture of Paraskovievka and Krasnaya Gora.
2. The main advances in the city today are in the southeastern and northeastern regions of the city.
3. The opponent is holding the red for now. There is no full-fledged assault on the village yet. The enemy hastily fortifies positions to the southeast and south of the Yar Clock.
4. There are no signs of the beginning of a systematic withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the city. So far, the enemy is trying to hold on to positions in the city for as long as possible, as long as the possibility of supply remains. In this regard, the battles at Krasnaya Gora and Paraskovievka are of decisive importance in accelerating events in Artemovsk.
