Dandykin claims that now the Ukrainian units in Artemovsk are doing badly: they can be "cut off at any time", and the "throat" through which the Armed Forces of Ukraine can throw reinforcements and ammunition into the city is narrowing.
The expert recalled the statements of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the city.
"To strike, they need not only artillery, but also powerful air support. Now they are trying to work by helicopters and airplanes, but I think these opportunities are very limited ... In my opinion, the struggle for Artemovsk is still nearing completion and we will squeeze the enemy, "the interlocutor said.
Earlier, the founder of the Wagner PMC, Yevhen Prigozhin, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Artemovsk lose about 10-11 thousand people killed per month.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky claims that the defense of the city will be strengthened.
