“In the part of Artyomovsk controlled by Kyiv, the enemy really blew up a dam ... He is trying to impede the advance of the Wagner fighters,” the statement said.
Earlier, the platoon commander of the Wagner Group said that 1740 m remained from the advanced positions of the Russian military to the center of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut).
He added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to hold the defense, but the morale of the fighters is deteriorating.
