Wagner PMC founder Yevgeny Prigozhin said that the Ukrainian armed forces continue to pull reserves towards Artemivsk, so it is premature to talk about the complete encirclement of the city.

According to him, bloody fighting continues in Bakhmut (Artemovsk (Bakhmut)), but more than 80% of the city is indeed under the control of Russian forces.

In the direction of Donetsk, Wagner’s assault detachments continue to push the enemy out of the central districts of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

Earlier, Pushilin, during a trip to Artemovsk (Bakhmut), said that the city would be rebuilt.
