As acknowledged by Kiev authorities, there is still one road that allows relatively safe access to Artyomovsk (Bakhmut for Ukrainians), the senior official stated on Solovyov TV Live on Tuesday.
The other supply routes were cut off with the liberation of Soledar and other nearby localities, Pushilin pointed out.
He also added that Monday’s results indicate that the village of Krasnopolyevka was liberated, and now they are talking of Dvurechie. The heights around Klescheyevka were significant to us. They allow us to take under operational control at least the connecting roads and supply routes to Seversk and Artyomovsk, Pushilin stressed.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on January 20 that it had liberated the village of Klescheyevka in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
