Wagner PMC founder Yevgeny Prigozhin said that by February 2023 the “musicians” had destroyed more than 11,000 enemy soldiers. The bulk of Ukrainian Armed Forces casualties are in the Artemovsk (Bakhmut) region.
So, Prigozhin commented on the words of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu. Recall that, according to the head of the Ministry of Defense, Ukrainian military formations lost only 11,000 in February. Since the fighting is far from taking place only in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) , if we take the data from Prigozhin as the truth, it turns out that the Russian army destroyed much more enemy manpower than 11,000.
Also, the Russian businessman assessed the combat capability of the Ukrainian army. According to him, Ukrainian military formations are not fleeing Artemivsk, but continue to fiercely defend it. Prigozhin noted that the Ukrainian armed forces are well equipped with shells, they do not experience a shortage of ammunition.
Earlier, Glavny Regionalny reported that according to Prigozhin, Artyomovsk was actually surrounded by Russian forces.
