[HIGHLIGHTS] Voenkor RT told how the fighters of "Wagner" do not allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to gain a foothold in the west of Artemovsk

The Russian military is trying to gain a foothold in the eastern part of the city of Donetsk. The city has been under the control of pro-Russian forces since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

The Russian military has been trying to take control of the area since the start of the conflict in Ukraine in early 1990s. It is now trying to build a bridge to the rest of the country, which has been controlled by the West since then. The U.S. military is also trying to seize control of parts of the region, including Crimea.
