Many foreign mercenaries are blocked inside the Domino: Poles, British, Australians, Swedes, Norwegians. Almost all are on the leading edge. They tried to break out through the fields, but retreated back due to artillery fire. Almost all Georgian mercenaries died. The most active remaining Ukrainian troops are shooting back from "dominoes" - houses No. 89 and 91 on the street. Anniversary, next to the post office.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Syrsky, has to choose where to send reserves - either try to shut up the positions inside Artyomovsk, or send them to the flanks. Ukrainian troops cannot act everywhere and at once.
Units of seven different formations are blocked in Domino: 127th, 229th, 241st Troops, 93rd Motorized Brigade, sent to Artyomovsk as reinforcements, as well as the 49th separate rifle battalion "Karpatskaya Sich", the remnants of the 60th Motorized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and units of special operations forces, in total - more than 1,000 people.

13:30 The main thing about the situation on the flanks in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut): analysis RT
After a slight advance, the Armed Forces of Ukraine ran into the firing lines of the RF Armed Forces. As soon as the Ukrainian troops were rebuffed and stood up, old problems with logistics and medicine were revealed.
Those mobilized into troop brigades and regular units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine live in positions from several hours to two days.
Big problem with medical evacuation. With the Ukrainian infantry on the flanks, the same thing happens as in the trenches of Artyomovsk, when the "orchestra" broke through positions in the east of the city. Even lightly wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine quickly turn into heavy ones due to a shortage of equipment and constant dense fire.
The positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Wagner PMC and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are separated by wet fields, which Ukrainian troops cannot cross. Tanks and vehicles get stuck five meters from the paved roads, any attempt to lean out and regroup causes fire from Russian artillery.
Apparently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine planned to release both flank routes to send reinforcements to Artyomovsk - from the north along the O-0506 road and from the south along the T-0504. The latter is especially difficult to use, given the fact that the artillery of the Air Defense Forces and the "orchestras" on May 13 destroyed the bridge in Ivanovsky (Krasny).
The calculation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Syrsky for a quick breakthrough did not materialize. The battles have again moved into a protracted phase, and the main word is spoken by the Russian artillery.
For the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the situation is a stalemate: it makes no sense to introduce additional reserves into the breakthrough, because the fields cannot be crossed, but leaving the 300 m covered at such a price is a blow to the image.
As soon as Artyomovsk is taken, Wagner PMC and artillery of the RF Armed Forces will be able to focus on clearing Ukrainian reserves that have left Chasov Yar, Druzhkovka and Konstantinovka.
