The founder of the PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin called the moment of the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In his opinion, this will happen as soon as the “Wagnerians” take Artemovsk (Bakhmut).
As soon as we finish taking Bakhmut, as soon as we drive out the last soldier or destroy him in the territory of Bakhmut, the Ukrainian counter-offensive will begin that day. I say figuratively “that day”, it can be more a few days, more a week
- his press service conveys the words of the businessman.
The task of the Russian troops is not to give the Ukrainian army the opportunity to gather in a counteroffensive, to crush it.
We do it more successfully. Once Bakhmut is taken, Zelenskyy will need the biggest win. And for that he will launch the very counter-offensive
suggested Prigogine.
Today, the businessman noted, no one is preventing Wagner from entering the operational space, since the situation within a radius of 10 kilometers around Artemovsk (Bakhmut) will not change in any way after his capture.
It will be exactly the same. The operational space directly in Warsaw is already fully open
concludes Prigogine.
Meanwhile, Western media are acknowledging the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ problems in Artemivsk. In particular, they reported that Ukrainian units had withdrawn from the last downtown possessions west of the railroad tracks.
