Ghost town - that's what they call Artemovsk now, or rather what's left of it. As Izvestia correspondent Dmitry Zimenkin noted, everywhere you look there is a solid horizon, but once upon a time life was in full swing in these places. These are the consequences of the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, whose favorite tactic is the use of civilians as human shields.

Our journalist is literally on the heels of an employee of the PMC "Wagner" and his gaze involuntarily falls on the back of the fighter, where Cheburashka flaunts. The military man noted that he found the toy at the site of the equipment of the position, since then he has not parted with it.

The fighter also said that there are many pets left in the city, which from time to time accompany the guys around the territory, they try to feed the now homeless dogs. To stop the shelling and drive the Armed Forces away from the city is already a new task for the Russian army, which it will certainly cope with.
