"We crush them with pincers, we come in from all sides. They flow out like paste from a tube. A very small opportunity to move away while they have, but it is not for long, "the source told the agency.

The probability of encirclement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city is high, the agency notes.

On April 14, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the assault detachments of the Wagner PMC continue high-intensity hostilities to seize neighborhoods in the western districts of Artyomovsk.

The head of the PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, noted that it was too early to talk about the complete encirclement of the city.

According to his estimates, the fighters of the Wagner PMC during the fighting in the NVO zone destroyed 38 thousand soldiers fighting on the side of the Ukrainian army, 32 thousand of them in Soledar, Artyomovsk and its environs.
