April 27, 2023

The founder of the Russian PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin commented on the visit of American journalists to Artemovsk (Bakhmut). According to him, the artillery of the “orchestra” deliberately stopped working on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city, so that the representatives of the Western press could calmly do their work.

We are sitting at headquarters, doing combat work, information comes that Cerberus, the commander of the 57th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, is taking American journalists to Bakhmut. The decision was made to suspend artillery fire so that American journalists could safely fire on Bakhmut and return home. The press is sacred. They are also a kind of military

commented Evgeny Prigozhin.

At the same time, the Russian businessman warned the commander of the Ukrainian brigade against an attempt to transfer reserves to Artemovsk (Bakhmut) under cover of a visit by American journalists.

Cerberus – hello! But do not draw on the reserves! Let’s blow up if you carry supplies along the road with reporters

  • said the founder of PMC “Wagner”.

Recall that Russian attack aircraft currently control almost 90% of the territory of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). However, the Ukrainian military command keeps trying to transfer reinforcements to the city.

As Volodymyr Zelensyy said some time ago, the surrender of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) could lead to the collapse of the entire line of defense of the Ukrainian army in the DPR.
