Prigozhin: Russian forces have fully established control over Artemovsk
MOSCOW, May 20-RIA Novosti. Russian forces have fully established control over Artemovsk, said the founder of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, his statement was published by the entrepreneur's press service in the Telegram channel.
"On the afternoon of May 20, Artemovsk, the last section of the so-called Samolet high-rise building, was completely taken," Prigozhin said.
According to him, from May 25, Wagner will begin withdrawing its units for rest and retraining. The fighters of the group will also create "the necessary lines of defense."
Control over the city will transferred to the Ministry of Defense, Prigozhin specified.
He thanked Generals Sergei Surovikin and Mikhail Mizintsev, who "made it possible to carry out this difficult operation."
"A thanks to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin for giving us this opportunity and the high honor to defend our homeland" Prigozhin stressed...

He has quite a personality that’s for sure.
I had an elderly Balt tell me pretty much the same thing. The big difference between Nazi & Russian Soviet\Communist oppression was the Communist required you to believe the oppression was good for you. The stealing and killing was in your best interests!
Pathetic isn't it? One would have thought that after Trump the filthy neoconunists would crawl back under their rocks, but here they are cheering biden and the eurocommies on.
Funny how you never hear a peep from them on the threads where the commies are grabbing dutch farms, or more recently Kerry voicing a desire to do the same in the U.S....
putin - russia
got the cure - vaccine
on communism
we need it
The pearl is in the river.
That's not what Prigozhin said. He was reported to have said:
"On the afternoon of May 20, Artemovsk, the last section of the so-called Samolet high-rise building, was completely taken," Prigozhin said.
So he actually claimed the capture of a section of a building. We have all watched the Russians go from claiming 3 days to victory to 3 days to a section of a high rise building in the 58th largest city in Ukraine.
More Russian coping. Is that why the Russian army sacrificed tens of thousands of men and thousands of tanks and other vehicles fighting and withdrawing from other areas across Ukraine?
Did you get an extra serving of borscht in the cafeteria for that post?
Borscht is the national dish of Ukraine.
Approximate situation around Bakhmut:
6 months after street battles began, 🇷🇺 forces have occupied the city, taking the last 🇺🇦 stronghold in the west.
🇺🇦 troops may still hold some buildings in the very southwest as the last of their troops withdraw.
Now, there you go again!
What an idiotic statement.
If it's only the 58th-largest city, why in the world has Zelensky the clown made numerous visits to the place and spent/wasted the lives of thousands upon thousands of Uke soldiers in losing the city to the rag-tag group of prisoners?
Get real!
I agree 100%.
Russia is the enemy. And they are strong allies with China. You think just because Obama kissed up to Russia they are our friend? That is ultranaive.
Obama tells Medvedev (Microphone to Putin) he will have "more flexibility" after election
Borscht is a Ukrainian dish. It originated there. The Ashkenazy were kind enough to then spread it far and wide.
Did you matriculate the same clown school as Zelzo?
Diversity -- meaning racial preference for blacks -- is good for all! White Supremacists are the greatest terror threat and must be suppressed! High taxes and government spending benefit everyone! The George Floyd riots were peaceful demonstrations against injustice! Trans operations on children are life-affirming! Illegal migrants are simply fleeing oppression for a better life!
The First Amendment and freedom of speech and thought are being rapidly eroded, with dissent from such policies often openly punished. The theft is becoming more blatant and is on the precipice of becoming settled blue state and Democratic federal policy in the form of tolerance of crime and soon race-based wealth taking via reparations. The killing and brutality are still at the margins, committed by non-state actors tacitly encouraged by Leftist policies, but it is easy enough to imagine worse to come.
