A Wagner fighter said that civilians were evacuated from Artyomovsk almost every night

“Almost every night we evacuate civilians: we bring out children, old people,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

According to him, civilians remain in Artyomovsk, who are not allowed to leave by the Ukrainian military.

Earlier, the acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, said that hostilities were taking place in the Paraskovievka area, the capture of this village would cut off the last supply route for Ukrainian troops in Artyomovsk.

According to his estimates, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not going to surrender Artemovsk without a fight.

In January, a resident of Artyomovsk told RT DE how refugees were evacuated from the city under shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
