According to him, the city continues to be liberated.
“Now in the vicinity we also already have information about improving positions, that is, the settlement of Paraskovievka has been liberated,” Pushilin said in a statement to TASS.
He stressed that this brings Russian troops closer to blocking the road to Chasov Yar, the only way to supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Earlier, Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the acting head of the DPR, said that Russian units occupied all the heights in the vicinity of Artyomovsk.
