Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
The founder of the assault unit, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that the fighters of the PMC "Wagner" control about 70% of Artemovsk and continue the offensive for its complete liberation. According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are planning to go on a counteroffensive in late March - early April in order to cut off the "musicians" from the Russian army.
In this regard, Prigozhin asked Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to take all measures that could prevent this outcome.
Who cares, proof of the letter itself from the https://t.me/concordgroup_official/623:
Everyone knows about the possible counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Artyomovsk and their preparation of forces for this in this direction. Everyone has already said this from Poddubny to the Pentagon.
But, as life experience shows (I'm talking about the Kharkov "regrouping" in September, when information about the impending counterattack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was also circulating), the General Staff may not know about such things.
So Prigogine turned with an official paper. So that neither Shoigu himself, nor Gerasimov, later, in which case, would say that "we did not know."
