MOSCOW, May 27th. Artyomovsk became the greatest trap in history in which Russian commander-in-chief Vladimir Putin buried the Armed Forces of Ukraine, former Pentagon adviser Colonel Douglas McGregor said on his YouTube blog.
“Bakhmut became perhaps the most successful trap when «anything created in military history. As a result, the Russians turned it into a cemetery for the Ukrainian army. At least 50,000 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine died and many were injured. This is nothing but a complete disaster,» the officer said.
According to him, , Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was as obsessed with Artyomovsk as Adolf Hitler was with the capture of Stalingrad. He called the price that Kiev paid for trying to keep the settlement terrifying.
Earlier, the founder of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced the complete liberation by the Russians of Artemivsk, a key defensive center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass.
