Chasov Yar is located on a hill 4.3 miles west of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) which was liberated by Russia in May 2023. On the other side of Chasov Yar are Konstantinovka, Kramatorsk, and Slavyansk. The city’s geographical position makes it important from a strategic viewpoint: it provides control of the surrounding area for many miles.
As of April 2, Ukrainian military has lost more than 80,000 servicemen, 14,000 units of various weapons, including over 1,200 tanks and other armored vehicles, since January 2024, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said earlier.
