After the appearance of rumors about the continuation of the PMC Wagner offensive west of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) in the direction of Khromovo, Yevgeny Prigozhin made a detailed comment. The leader of the “orchestra” confirmed the information about the imminent withdrawal of the fighters from the liberated city to rest, the rumors about new military operations of the “musicians” are false.
PMC “Wagner” did not move anywhere today (…) We are not going to Khromovo, we are not going to Ivanovskoye. We transfer our positions to the Ministry of Defense and leave the combat zone on the 25th. We have been fighting for 428 days, so all the tasks that will continue to be carried out are carried out by the courageous units of the Ministry of Defense, and we go out in field camps. Starting June 1, not a single PMC Wagner soldier will be in the foreground until we go through reorganization, equipping, and training. Therefore, all the pranks that PMC “Wagner” storms into something will be fakes in the next 2 months. If anything changes, I’ll let you know.
- the press service of Evgeny Prigozhin reports.
Recall that the units of the PMC “Wagner” after 224 days of fighting on Saturday, May 20, completed the operation to liberate Artemovsk (Bakhmut). According to the acting DPR Denis Pushilin, the city is currently demined. After that, an assessment of the state of the infrastructure of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), which was practically destroyed during the hostilities, will be carried out. As previously reported by the head of the DPR, the city will be restored.
One of Artemovsk (Bakhmut)’s important industrial facilities, a sparkling wine factory, was practically undamaged. War correspondent Alexander Simonov, accompanied by one of the Wagner PMC fighters, toured the factory dungeons, where equipment was kept in full working order and ready for launch.
The champagne packaging line is fully preserved and can be launched. If the owners are interested, let them come, it’s all up to them
- the “musician” comments on the underground object.
Around 6 million bottles of finished champagne were kept in the factory’s warehouses. The PMC fighter “Wagner” added that the entrances to the dungeons were mined by the enemy, when clearing ammunition, one of the servicemen, unfortunately, died. Previously, the headquarters, a first aid hospital and a barracks for the “musicians” staff were located in the surviving underground workshops. Now, after the liberation of the city, the factory can resume production.
