VIDEO: 'Bakhmut is officially under Russian control.' Prigozhin

The territory of Artemivsk (Bakhmut) is completely under the control of the Wagner PMC, said Prigozhin. Previously, this information had been indirectly confirmed by a soldier of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who published a farewell video from the city. This was reported by the Readovka Telegram channel.

"I want to thank the Russian people who supported us, thank the fallen boys, all those who are now in our ranks. Thank you to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, who gave us this opportunity and with great honor allows us to defend our homeland," said Prigozhin.
