PMC Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said the long battle for Bakhmut gives the Russian armed forces an advantage. According to the founder of a private military company, due to the protracted nature of the battle, the army is gaining strength, occupying an advantageous position for defense and dealing with internal problems. This will make it possible to cope with the counteroffensive of the fully armed Ukrainian Armed Forces, the contractor is sure.
According to Prigozhin, the capture of Bakhmut is particularly important, since it is in this area that the turning point of the Ukrainian army is located. Beneath the city, Russian forces are holding back enemy maneuvers, he added.
Earlier, Prigogine said that it was premature to talk about the complete encirclement of Artemovsk (Bakhmut).
