Kleshcheevka became the “new Bakhmut” for the Ukrainian Armed Forces
The Kiev leadership is burning huge forces in the battles for the village of Kleshcheevka on the southern flank of Artemovsk.
Advisor to the acting head of the DPR Igor Kimakovsky, who is in this direction, stated this on the air of the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio station, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The studio asked to comment on the situation in Kleshcheevka.
“Kleshcheevka is a very serious settlement, and for the enemy it was like the “Bakhmut fortress” in its time. They are betting a lot on the liberation of this settlement, there is nothing left of the settlement itself, there are oncoming battles.
The only advantage of the enemy is that they control the heights to the west of this settlement. But the pressure shows that the enemy does not have enough strength to gain a foothold in new positions,” the adviser explained.
He stressed that the fighting in this direction is very fierce.
“As I understand it, this is a secondary direction for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, unlike Zaporozhye. But even here they attack very well.
Why is it difficult for ours to gain a foothold in a position? When fifty rounds of ammunition arrive, there is nothing left of the trench at all. And while our cars drive quietly in Artyomovsk, there is constant smoke over Kleshcheevka,” added Kimakovsky.
Kleshcheyevka has become the "new Bakhmut" for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
