Russia claims it controls the city of Krasnaya Gora and further encloses Bakhmut

MADRID, 13 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Russian Ministry of Defense has reported on Monday the conquest of the town of Krasnaya Gora, located in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, with which it manages to further increase its siege on the city of Bakhmut, the main Russian aspiration in recent weeks. .

"In the direction of Donetsk, volunteers of the assault detachment, with the support of the fire of missile troops and artillery of the Southern Group of Forces, liberated the settlement of Krasnaya Gora," said Russian Defense spokesman Igor Konashenkov.

Following this information, Yan Gagin, one of the main advisers to the government of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (RPD), controlled by pro-Russian authorities, has stressed that control over Krasnaya Gora will serve to control access to Bakhmut.

"Krasnaya Gora is one of the key strongholds to increase control over the approaches to Bakhmut. Consequently, this is the key to a further offensive and capture of the city," Gagin told Rossiya-24 television.

In fact, the DPR adviser has announced that Russian troops are already advancing towards Bakhmut, controlling some points on the road, and has ventured that "the Ukrainian garrison in Bakhmut is doomed." "Sooner or later they will deliver it (Bajmut)", he has settled.
