Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[RIA Novosti] The battle for Artemivsk practically destroyed the Ukrainian army, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner group, said on his Telegram channel. "The battle for Bakhmut (Artyomovsk. — Ed.) Today has already practically destroyed the Ukrainian army and, unfortunately, pretty battered Wagner PMC," said Prigozhin, quoted by his press service in the corresponding telegram channel. Artemovsk is located north of the large city of Gorlovka . It is an important transport hub for supplying the Ukrainian group of troops in the Donbass . Fierce battles have been going on outside the city for more than six months, the Ukrainian group is in operational encirclement. As Volodymyr Zelensky stated earlier , if Ukrainian troops are defeated in Artemivsk, then Kiev will quickly face pressure from the international community, and inside the country it will be pushed to compromise with Russia. Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, in an interview with RIA Novosti noted that Ukraine itself turned Artemovsk into a kind of symbol, which is its tragic mistake.
