IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE STUPIDITY OF THE WESTERN LEADERS AND THE IDIOCY OF THEIR ZELENSKY NAZI PUPPET, WE NEED TO EXPLORE WHAT THE WEST DEPLORES: THE FRONT LINES OR "MEAT GRINDER" WHERE THE "UKRAINIAN" ARMY, THE "UKRO-ANTLANTICIST" ENABLER (*) IS LOOSING "THE WAR".... AND SADLY, CIVILIANS GET CAUGHT IN THE CROSS-FIRE. THIS IS A BLOG FROM THE RUSSIAN PERSPECTIVE (RUSSIAN ADVANCES IN ORANGE)....

by Erwan Castel

On the northern front of the People's Republic of Donetsk, the industrial city of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) has crystallized all the energy and attention since mid-November when the fighting for control of this ukro-Atlantic bastion located to the east of the major cities of Kramatorsk and Slaviansk (where the headquarters of the Ukrainian battle corps of Donbass) and which is the keystone of its eastern front line.

Thousands of men are throwing themselves daily into the battle for Artemovsk, which the banderists renamed Bakhmut in 2016, and hundreds are leaving this ruined city in body bags or bloody stretchers.

The 93rd Ukrainian Brigade evacuated from Soledar because of its excessive losses suffered as during the counterattack attempted on December 8 against the positions of Wagner and the 6th Cossack of Lugansk (Knauf factory sector).

For 6 months the total losses of this 93rd brigade amount to 3000 men. Some of its units have been 90% renewed. Soledar therefore only has the 24th brigade, and various units (nationalists, mercenaries, etc.)

2. Faced with the risk of losing Soledar, the defense of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) rearticulates its northern system by withdrawing to the urban edges of the city and destroying its access bridges.

The Ukro-Atlantic forces have already destroyed 2 railway bridges and 1 road bridge, mined roads, confirming the likely withdrawal of the last Soledar units.

Heavy fighting continued in the eastern and southern urban fabric of Artemovsk, with Wagner forces advancing house by house towards the city center from the east.

Two blocks along Maksimenko Street have already been liberated, and further south in this area the Wagner groups are advancing along Pervomaysky Street to Dobrolubova Street.

The defense line of the 71st Ukrainian Mountain Brigade was therefore breached.

Other important tactical successes concern the village of Opitnoe located at the southeastern entrance to the city (not to be confused with Opitnoe north of Donetsk):

This suburb of Artemovsk is now 90% controlled by Russian forces who blocked several enemy groups in buildings on Shkolnaya Street.

As in every urban conquest, particular effort is made to cut off enemy supply routes and maximize economy of one's own forces.

The ukro-Atlanticist forces are drowning in their blood. The already apocalyptic figures of Ukrainian losses (100 to 150 daily killed) reached during the battle of Severodonetsk last April are greatly exceeded in this urban battle that many observers call a “meat grinder”.

After the 93rd brigade evacuated from Soledar for lack of able-bodied combatants, it was the turn of the 25th Ukrainian brigade, completely bled by the fighting, to evacuate Artemovsk.

The Ukrainian general staff continues to blow up the bridges to delay the Russian advances that the pro-kyiv maps, while continuing to minimize them, are obliged to recognize.

The losses suffered are very significant recognized, on the chain TSN, S. Cherevaty, a Ukrainian officer from the "East" (Donbass) staff, adding:

« The main task, which the Russians, unfortunately, seriously carry out, is to weaken our defense. They hope they will reach a critical point when our defense is exhausted, and that they can find a breach and break through this portcullis ».

And the ukrops officer describes the attrition tactics of the Russian assault groups, carrying out violent but punctual and cautious actions.

Behind the Artemovsk front, Ukrainian relief is completely saturated. Dozens of doctors were sent there as reinforcements. Hospitals and morgues are overflowing and the dead and wounded are now being evacuated to Kharkov.

The medical service in Ukraine suspends surgical programming (document below) to put all its resources into taking care of the tidal wave of the wounded.

Even the French-speaking media, champions of pro-Ukrainian debilitation, are beginning to recognize that it stinks on the side of Artemovsk while arguing that it is the Russians who are suffering abysmal losses and that this city ultimately has "no strategic importance" for kyiv. !

As if a vital crossroads for the logistics of a front could disappear overnight!

Such stupidity insults not only the public but also the 10 Ukrainians killed and injured in Artemovsk who are supposed to be supported by these right-thinking watchdogs.

On December 14, in front of this "meat grinder" of Artemovsk in which hundreds of killed, wounded and prisoners belonging to the strategic reserves of the Ukrainian battle corps disappear daily, the Chief of Staff, General Zajoulny to ask Zelensky authorization to abandon Artemovsk and Soledar and to reconstitute a line of defense 10 km further west.

The last time such a situation occurred was during the battle of Severodonetsk/Lisichansk. But then it took another hundred killed for the NATO advisers whispering in the ear of the Kievan puppet to accept the evidence.

Politically and militarily the abandonment of Artemovsk by the ukro-Atlanticist forces would mean a bitter failure in a battle for which thousands of soldiers have died since May, when the Russian forces arrived in sight of this bastion of the Northern front .

I think that here again fanaticism will prevail over reason and the Artemovsk garrison will have to stay until its total destruction. 

Meanwhile, on the ground, fighting and destruction progress towards the center of a ghost town.

On the side of the French media, the mantra of the moment is to say that the Russian forces are massacring the civilians of Artemovsk, turning this city into a field of ruins.

That civilians die or are injured in the fighting for Artemovsk is unfortunately a reality, because what these lackeys forget to mention is that the ukro-Atlanticist forces are in the city and are resisting from the residential areas where a few dozen families remained.

Two examples:

A Ukrainian "Grad" in battery next to a residential building in Artemovsk

A Ukrainian sniper in position in a stairwell of an apartment building in Artemovsk

The reality is that any city that becomes a battlefield sees all belligerents using all possible infrastructure and therefore becoming targets for the adversary. 

The only responsibility incumbent on the defenders is to evacuate the civilians before the carnage.

Until September-October, the city of Artemovsk was certainly the ideal southern entry point for a potential encirclement of Slaviansk-Kramatorsk whose ukro-Atlanticist forces were then fixed primarily opposite Izioum and Krasni Liman.

But since the strategic setback suffered by the Russian forces in the wake of the enemy breakthrough on Balaklaïa (September 7) the kyiv staff has been able to reinforce this front line located to the east of Slaviansk/Kramatorsk. With as main support points Seversk in the North and Artemovsk in the South. 

However, Artemovsk remains a major strategic objective for the Russian general staff; its control would weaken this entire eastern shield at the heart of the Ukrainian-Atlantic battlefield in the Donbass. 

Moreover, if an encirclement of Slaviansk from Artemovsk seems complicated since the loss of Izioum and Krasni Liman, on the other hand a turning movement towards the South is possible. Shortest towards Toresk, which would take the pressure off Gorlovka, or furthest towards Avdeevka, which would accelerate the collapse of the vice that has been bombarding Donetsk for 8 years.

In the meantime, it is above all the political stakes and the strategy of reciprocal attrition which appear in the foreground of the battle for Artemovsk. 

Moscow needs a Victory and kyiv hopes to be able to bog it down in an attrition in front of Artemovsk, even if it means losing more men in this hell where more than 60% of the losses recorded on the front are currently concentrated.

The battle of Artemovsk, in its urban development, has only just begun.
