“Artyomovsk falls into the very environment that was mentioned earlier.

Now the track Chasov Yar - Artyomovsk is almost taken under control.

Not yet completely, but it is about to be taken under control, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying on the air of the Rossiya 1 TV channel.

Gagin added that after taking the route, the Ukrainian military will not be able to supply their fighters with weapons and medicines.
