Acting head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin said fierce battles were taking place in the western districts of Artyomovsk, but fighters from the private military company Wagner were advancing.
“Fierce battles continue there, but Wagner’s PMC continues to advance, day and night,” he told RIA Novosti.
