Battle For Bakhmut: Despite Superior Ukrainian Grouping, Wagner Fighters Do Not Stop Advance

The Wagner PMC which is fighting for the city of Bakhmut warned that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have trained about 200 thousand reservists and received a large amount of military equipment from NATO. The Ukrainian military is expected to attempt large-scaled offensive operations on the Donbass front lines, including in Bakhmut. The head of the Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin urged the Russian Defense Ministry to join forces, because the “Bakhmut meat grinder” can only work well in case of full cooperation.

“Ukrainians have received a large number, a very large number of various NATO equipment, various armored vehicles, tanks, Leopards, <…> and have prepared reserves of about 200 thousand people,” Prigozhin said.

According to Yevgeny Prigozhinm, up to 80,000 Ukrainian servicemen are concentrated in the Bakhmut region, including in Konstantinovka, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Chasov Yar, Seversk and Druzhkivka.

The Ukrainian military attempts to stop Russian advance westwards and prevents Wagner fighters from encircling the city of Bakhmut.

 

 

Despite the threat of Ukrainian counter attacks, Wagner fighters do not stop the offensive operations and are still holding the military initiative.

Fierce fighting near Bakhmut has been ongoing for the past few months. On February 20, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed Russian control of the village of Paraskoviyivka. On March 15, Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that Russian forces had taken control of the village of Zaliznyanskoye.

Fighting is ongoing in the village of Khromovo which id the last Ukrainian stronghold on the Russian way to the last road leading to Bkahmut. Wagner forces are storming Ukrainian positions from the northern direction, from the village of Yagodnoe which is under Russian control.

The road from Bakhmut to Konstantinovka remains the only way out of the city used by the Ukrainian military. It is constantly shelled by Russian artillery.

Meanwhile, Wagner fighters are advancing in Bakhmut. About 70% of the city came under Russian control.

Wagner fighters took control of most of the Artemovsk Non-Ferrous Metals Plant. Fighting is ongoing in the southern part of the industrial zone located in the northern quarters of Bakhmut.

After Russian forces took control of the eastern Zabakhmutka district of the city, they continued their advance towards the city center. They are already a few hundred meters from the administrative center of Bakhmut.

 

 

In the southern districts of Bakhmut, heavy street battles continue. Wagner fighters are approaching the last road leading to the city.

To the southwest of the city, fighting is ongoing on the outskirts of the village of Krasnoye. Ukrainian forces have reportedly managed to repel Wagner units from the road but it still cannot be used for transfer of the Ukrainian military.

The reinforcement of Ukrainian grouping in the Bakhmut region, including with the NATO weapons, allowed the Ukrainian military to delay the encirclement of the Ukrainian grouping in the city and slow down Russian advance. However, the transfer of any military supplies to the city is complicated by the Russian fire control of the only road which is under Ukrainian control and the Ukrainian grouping in Bakhmut is still losing positions on the city streets.

‘According to Yevgeny Prigozhinm, up to 80,000 Ukrainian servicemen are concentrated in the Bakhmut region, including in Konstantinovka, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Chasov Yar, Seversk and Druzhkivka’.This is taking a very generous view of ‘the Bakhmut (Artyymovsk) region’! He might as well just say the Donetsk region. I agree The Ukraine are probably waiting to counter-attack from Chasov Yar – waiting not so much on the weather but for Russia to boast of having finally ‘taken’ Artymovsk – then to embarrass them with a rapid breakthrough there. And it’s not as if the Russian’s are unaware of the tactic and have instead resorted to a painful inching forward, hoping to draw The Ukrainians into an impatient foray. It’s really a game of who will blink first.

Icarus, you should understand that Norway has harsh winters and men in Norway need to come close together to stay warm. It’s not they are faggots (Pedersens/Pedersons), it’s just a matter of climate.

Darius

in the meantime NATO piss his pants how long they are still allowed to stay in Ukraine

Alexey

I wonder what regular Russian army is doing around Bakhmut. Just seating looking at Ukra-Nazis gathering force to attack Wagner?

Darius

Alexey , the Russians want to win this whole conflict , not just some particular point (and maybe fall in some trap). It’s a complicated multidimensional war , not to understand if you only look at maps like in history books. I don’t know if they calculate right , but it’s really not so simple like some people imagine: to bomb the whole region to dust and win.

Cliff

I said any tall building must be demolition just called for bunker buster to drop in it and demolished the dam thing. That’s what the Russian need to do instead of storming a build .

That would American do, and it means Iraq or Vietnam. Russians are not barbars, and doesn’t want a so called “colateral damage”.

Edgar Zetar

Yes indeed, chess is for the strategy tier, the soldiers in the field not only depend on supplies also their moral, training and experience of the commanders on the field are very important, UKI Army fails in both because they are figthing their own brethren their own blood under the rule of the Masters of the Universe

Sorry, how much territory has the failed Ukrainian CIA project lost since the US overthrew the government in 2014, urinal-puck-eater?

HuckleberryFinn

Change the record, it’s boring. I guess you know that most are here to laugh at all the BS

Len

Why do I get the impression that Wagner and the Russian Army are spreading themselves too thinly in ArtymovsK? The Russian air force needs to step up and heavily bombard the Ukrainians and Russia needs to bolster the manpower in this area, consolidate current gains and launch a heavy missile and rocket offensive.

If the Ukrappers throw their last army of 80 thousand goons directly into the boiling cauldrons of the Donbass expect a slaughter of massive proportion of same and then the well rehearsed outcry of the Natostan gangsters behind the rump Ukrap dumpster fire to try to justify the direct intervention of its manly girls and girly men “troops” on Russia’s borders. This time it’s for all the marbles and no doubt Mother Russia will send a hypersonic orchestra to play the final fugue, the death knell of all things USSA and the evil EUSSR in its “European Theater”.
