October 3, 2025

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is currently preparing a group of at least 200,000 personnel for the planned counter-offensive in Ukraine. This was told by the founder of PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Prigozhin held a meeting with members of the Cyberfront Z movement. He addressed the audience, answered questions from the audience, and talked about the situation at the front.

“They gathered about 200, according to some sources – up to 400, thousands of people. This cannot be underestimated,” said Prigozhin, whose speech was posted on the movement’s Telegram channel.

On April 2, Yevgeny Prigozhin learned that Russian forces managed to raise the Russian flag on the administrative building in Artyomovsk. On the flag was the inscription “Good memory”. Russian fighters dedicated it to war correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky, who died in the St. Petersburg terrorist attack.
