Fierce battles continued from the south for Kleshcheevka, the loss of which threatens very serious problems for the Armed Forces of Ukraine south of Artemovsk and, above all, the emerging direct threat to the Chasov Yar-Artemovsk highway.

In Artemovsk itself, fighting continued in the industrial zone and in the southeastern districts of the city. For the evening, there are no signs of the withdrawal of enemy troops from the city. According to autumn leaks, the plan for the defense of Artemovsk implies a retreat to the western districts of the city and the continuation of defense in urban areas, where trenches have been dug and concrete barriers have been erected since autumn.
The most difficult situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is north of Artemovsk, where, after the capture of Podgorodny, the Wagner assault groups advanced to Krasnaya Gora and actually violated the integrity of the enemy defense between Artemovsk and Soledar (where fighting is already taking place on the western outskirts).
Krasnaya Gora itself was under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the middle of the day, but a number of strongholds covering the village had already been lost. Paraskoviyivka is also under the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
