[NewsFrontInfo] 21:05 Subdivisions of PMC "Wagner" continue to move towards the settlement. Kleshcheevka - the next complex defense center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine south of Bakhmut

The complexity of its assault is due to:
- height difference;
- a developed system of strongholds around the village;
- readiness of the territory of the settlement itself for a long defense.

In Kleshcheevka, communication passages were dug between the houses, the area was mined, fortifications and long-term firing points were created, anti-tank hedgehogs and other engineering barriers were put up on the streets.

In addition, the stronghold is covered by a reservoir from the northern part of the settlement.
