The founder of Wagner PMC Evgeny Prigozhin believes, that Ukrainian formations may well be preparing for a counteroffensive in the Artyomovsky direction. It is reported by the Telegram channel "Prigozhin's Cap".
Earlier, the Ukrainian media began to publish materials about a possible large-scale counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to push back Russian forces from Artemivsk. (Ukrainian name - Bakhmut). Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, also announced the timing of the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Artemivsk..
As a result, Prigozhin as the curator of the "Wagnerites", playing a key role in the hostilities in the Artemovsk direction, asked a legitimate question about the risks of a counteroffensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He was asked to assess the likelihood of such a development.
Yes, it's a known fact, that the enemy is preparing a counteroffensive. of course, we are doing everything possible, to prevent this from happening- stressed the founder of PMC "Wagner".
We have to admit, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine still have sufficient resources, including other areas, which can be transferred to Artemovsk. for example, the other day, the acting head of the Zaporozhye region of the Russian Federation, Yevgeny Balitsky, reported on the concentration in the northern part of the region, occupied by Ukrainian forces, forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a total strength of 40 thousands of people. That's quite a lot of power., and they may well be thrown in other directions, also do not forget about the ongoing mobilization, as well as arriving mercenaries and other sources of replenishment of the fairly "shabby" Armed Forces of Ukraine.
