Kiev continues its attempts to relocate reserve forces to Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), but most of them get eliminated before they even reach the city, says Yan Gagin, Advisor to Acting DPR Head Denis Pushilin.
"Our forces in Artyomovsk have increased pressure on the only artery that connects Artyomovsk to Chasov Yar, through which any kind of deliveries are already difficult. Meanwhile, Kiev is still trying to relocate reserves to one of the most dangerous areas. Vehicles and personnel are eliminated on their approach to [the city]," he said.
