“The Stupki microdistrict in the north of Artyomovsk came under the complete control of the fighters of the Wagner Group, and the assault groups also entered the Ilyinovka area,” the source said.
There is no official confirmation of this information.
Acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin noted on February 27 that the liberation of Yagodny and Berkhovka in the Artyomovsk region made it possible to reach Khromov and the village of Bogdanovka.
He noted that this creates "fortunate circumstances for surrounding the enemy and compressing the ring."
