Currently in Artemovsk (Your luck) and its surroundings are fighting around 6 thousand professional fighters of PMC "Wagner" and approximately 20-30 thousands of recruits (recruits) this organization. Such an estimate of the number of "Wagnerites" in the Artemovsky direction was given by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Mark Milley, reports CNN.
Milli spoke about the number of Wagner PMCs near Artemovsk, talking to U.S. Congressmen from the House Armed Services Committee. In this way, the American general estimates the total number of "musicians" involved in the Artemovsky direction in 26-36 thousands of people.
About 20-30 thousand recruits milly declared, that these people are often recruited from places of detention. However, this practically from the very beginning did not hide the leadership of the PMC.
Interesting, what General Milli said about the "huge losses" of PMCs near Artemovsk. But they do not really correlate with the number of “Wagnerites” he voiced.. Although Wagner attack aircraft operate in the most dangerous areas, fighting often with superior enemy forces, unlikely, that their losses are higher, than the mobilized Ukrainian regular armed forces.
note, that the Ukrainian formations are in Artemovsk and its environs in a very difficult situation. Now President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is already recognizing this., which speaks of catastrophic consequences for Kyiv in the event of the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemovsk. used photos:PMC Telegram channel “Wagner”
