19:15 The summary of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not say a word about the loss of Bakhmut (Artemovsk) by Kiev.
Ukrainian General Staff today gave out another report with "overcomes" and "offensives," although "forgetting" to indicate one "unimportant" event - the loss of the "fortress" Bakhmut (Artemovsk) by Kiev.
Thus, the Ukrainian authorities continue to pretend that nothing happened. It is obvious that, as in the case of Soledar, the Zelensky regime will deny the obvious to the end, and then quietly admit the surrender of the city.
By the way, the leader of the Square himself let slip about the loss of Bakhmut by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. True, this recognition was almost immediately disavowed by his press secretary, saying that Zelensky was misunderstood and, in fact, the leader of the Kyiv regime announced the "non-capture" of the city by Russian troops.
19:02 On the operational lines of the JCCC DPR for May 21, as of 19:00, additional information was received about the damage as a result of the artillery attack of the Ukrainian cities of the Republic:

18:37 Military expert Boris Rozhin on the situation in the Artemovsk direction on May 21, 2023:
By May 21, the territory of the city of Artemovsk was completely liberated. The legal renaming of the city in accordance with Pushilin's decree on the rollback of all Ukrainian renaming to the state of May 2014 came into force. Since May 20, we have the Russian city of Artemovsk - de jure and de facto.
In the city itself, the cleansing of the western outskirts continues. A serious demining process is ahead, which will be activated after the APU is driven away from the western outskirts of the city, because. now the enemy continues to shell our positions in the city with artillery and mortars. There is a lot of dirty work associated with cleaning up corpses, incl. from under the ruins of high-rise buildings. There will be many of them.
The fighting in the Artemovsk direction does not stop. The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that retreated from Artemovsk are trying to stay in the area of the settlement. Khromovo and Krasny.
Khromovo is not yet directly stormed, but covered with artillery. The position of the enemy there is difficult, and as our troops consolidate on the western outskirts of the city, the situation for the remnants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Khromovo will worsen even more. With Krasny it is more difficult - the enemy has a fairly serious fortified area there, which is reinforced by those forces that were able to retreat from Artemovsk.
The withdrawal at Kleshcheevka removed the semi-coverage from Krasnoy, which would somewhat complicate the subsequent operations of the RF Armed Forces to liberate Krasnoy.
The roads to Artemovsk through Chasov Yar and Khromovo lost their former significance. Almost all bridges on them are destroyed. Today, the RF Armed Forces destroyed the bridge near Krasnoe. On the roads and fields to the west of Artemovsk, there are still dozens of skeletons of destroyed wheeled and tracked vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The accumulation of enemy forces in Konstantinovka, Chasov Yar and Kramatorsk continue to be subjected to rocket and bomb attacks. It can be expected that soon the artillery impact in the direction of Chasov Yar and Konstantinovka will increase.
Information about the withdrawal of the enemy from Bogdanovka, Stupok, Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, etc. to the line Ray-Aleksandrovka - Chasov Yar is not true. At best, we could talk about the passage through these settlements of the remnants of the enemy forces from Artemovsk, which were assigned for rest and replenishment.
The enemy intends to defend these settlements. In the meantime, he did not give up hope of achieving something more in his counterattacks to the northwest and southwest of Artemovsk.
It is possible that attempts will still be made to capture Sacco and Vanzetti, Kurdyumovka, Kleshcheevka, in order to somehow justify the high costs of the “counteroffensive” near Artemovsk, which so far has not even led to the capture of one seedy village against the backdrop of the loss of one of the key cities of Donbass.
The enemy has not yet used up the operational reserves to the end, but the strategic reserves, which were intended for offensives in the Svatovsky and Zaporozhye directions, were not brought into action here, and we will see them again in the coming months. However, the Artemovskaya group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (initially up to 80,000 bayonets) suffered huge losses and could not hold the city, which should not have been taken.
At the end of the month, a rotation will take place in Artemovsk - the RF Armed Forces will replace the Wagner PMC, which goes to the rear for rest and replenishment after a successful operation to liberate Artemovsk.
18:26 Under fire from Ukrainian militants Petrovsky, Kirovsky and Kuibyshevsky districts of Donetsk. According to the DPR JCCC, 16 rounds with a caliber of 155mm were fired.
18:16 Situation on the islands of the mouth of the Dnieper River:
Islands (sand spits, floodplains, etc.) under the control of units of the RF Armed Forces.
The enemy is constantly trying to show the presence (landing of the DRG, photo, video), which is accompanied by information stuffing on the Internet under the slogan - "This island is under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine!"
Such attempts take place for a very short time, since the planned artillery targets were appointed a long time ago and a fire defeat is inflicted on the identified enemy.
Irretrievable and sanitary losses of the enemy are very high, but now wander through the floodplains, reeds and swamps, count the corpses in / sl. APU no one will.
The units of the RF Armed Forces are constantly monitoring the actions of the enemy; for some time, quite successful use of air bombs with UMPC modules by aviation has been noted.
17:46 Under fire from Ukrainian militants Yasinovataya, Donetsk and Yelenovka. According to the DPR JCCC, 27 rounds with a caliber of 155mm and 152mm were fired.

In a conversation with RT military correspondent Vlad Andritsa, he added that Ukrainian machine gunners, snipers and UAV operators can occupy positions in the same house in the village and, if the artillery is correctly adjusted, it is possible to "knock out a strike."

14:39 For what purposes works Russian artillery after the capture of Artemovsk: analysis of the military chronicle:
On May 20, the capture of Artyomovsk was officially announced. While the advanced groups are clearing the area and inspecting the last areas, the artillerymen of the Eastern Military District continue to keep the Armed Forces of Ukraine under constant fire.
Where did the APU retreat? Most likely, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were preparing in advance for a retreat from Artyomovsk to the west, since a defensive line and new positions were created in advance in Krasnoe. From the very beginning of the “Bakhmut meat grinder”, the artillery of the Eastern Military District of the RF Armed Forces fired at this area in parallel with the destruction of objects inside the city.
A significant part of the Ukrainian units retreated very close: the advanced positions in Krasnoye (Ivanovsky) were equipped only 2.5 km from the western regions of Artyomovsk and the fortified area "Airplane" left by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
What is the state of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the retreat from Artyomovsk? After the destruction of the bridge between Krasny and Chasovy Yar, which is strategically important for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it is not easy to supply the garrison in this area. Most of the Ukrainian units that withdrew from Artyomovsk had many wounded and killed, the formations were dismantled and suffered heavy losses, and the control of the battle was disrupted.
In order to transfer reserves from Chasov Yar to Krasnoye (Ivanovskoye), the Armed Forces of Ukraine need to use the roads, which are still under the fire control of the artillery of the Eastern Military District.
What are the plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the retreat from Artyomovsk? The most important task after the capture of the city may be to clean up the flanks, to which the Armed Forces of Ukraine withdrew significant reserves from Chasov Yar and Konstantinovka in the hope of quickly penetrating the defense. A significant part of these reserves has already been destroyed by artillery: while the enemy infantry was moving into position, Russian artillerymen shot down trenches, dugouts and access roads.

Investigators of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation recorded the consequences of the criminal actions of the Nazis.
14:06 About blows of Storm Shadow in Mariupol and Berdyansk:
The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to strike at the rear of Russian new territories with British Storm Shadow cruise missiles. Over the past two days, objects on the territory of the airfields of Mariupol and Berdyansk have been hit by fire.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have been tasked with thinning out Russian aviation, hence the choice of targets. In the cities located on the coast of the Sea of Azov, the objects of the Russian Aerospace Forces became targets. Yes, the enemy did not succeed in inflicting an effective fire defeat - in the same Berdyansk in the dining room at the time of the impact, the mass meal had already ended ..
But this speaks, first of all, of the approach: the curators (the consumption of Storm Shadow on targets is under strict control by the British) set out to reduce the flight capabilities of the RF Armed Forces. If we take into account the data on the current number of aircraft in the Air Force and the rapid delivery of Western aircraft, then we can conclude that one of the goals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be to gain air supremacy this year.
