Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] 1. The city is fully controlled by the PMC "Wagner". DPR structures are slowly starting to enter the city.
2. The enemy does not conduct assault operations in order to return to the city. Limited to shelling of the western and southwestern quarters and the actions of the DRG to the west of the city.
3. PMC "Wagner" does not conduct serious assault operations with the aim of capturing Krasny. The positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Khromovo are subjected to artillery strikes. The "Wagner" itself will leave the city one of these days and go on vacation.
4. Demining and cleaning of corpses in the western quarters is hampered by ongoing shelling, while maintaining the configuration of the front, the duration of cleaning of corpses and demining may be comparable to the time of clearing the Donetsk airport terminal. The collected dead, most likely, will be handed over to the Armed Forces of Ukraine after a while.
5. On the flanks of our grouping, the enemy continues attacks to the northwest and southwest of Artemovsk and declares advances up to 200 meters. The main positions of a part of the Russian Defense Ministry and the volunteer detachments deployed here are being held. However, the enemy still has unspent reserves here, which he can try to throw into the attack on Kleshcheevka.
6. The actions of the parties are complicated by the beginning of the rains, which again scattered the area beyond the boundaries of highways and paved roads. The enemy will most likely attribute the failure of his counterattacks to Russia's "climatic weapon", although the weather interferes with us exactly to the same extent as the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
7. The command of the RF Armed Forces, for obvious reasons, does not disclose its intentions regarding further offensive operations based on Artemovsk and Soledar - there are various options that do not end with one Chasov Yar.
