The tweet reads, “Yevgeny Prigozhin estimated 38,000 soldiers killed as casualties of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by PMC Wagner. Of which 32,000 people were in and around Soledar, Bakhmut during the Bakhmut blockade.”
Artyomovsk is situated within the region of Donetsk People’s Republic that is under the governance of Kiev.
This transportation hub holds considerable significance as it has played a pivotal role in replenishing the Ukrainian battlegroup stationed in the Donbass region. Intense combat for command over the administrative district is currently in progress.
According to Prigozhin’s previous statement, the Russian armed forces have established control over an estimated 80% of the city of Artyomovsk. This includes the acquisition of all municipal administrative facilities.
