#1320 We publish a request from Ura.ru and the answer:
1) Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at a meeting with the leadership of the Russian Armed Forces that the capture of Artemovsk will allow the Russian Armed Forces to advance deeper into the AFU defense. Question: Where will the front move after Bakhmut is cleared? Where can we expect to fight?
2) Shoigu also announced the liberation of several settlements around Artemivsk, in particular Krasnaya Gora, which, however, was taken back on February 13. Question: why do we sometimes get such news from the fronts about the capture of settlements several times? Do the AFU break through again and have to liberate them again?
3) AFU losses for February increased by 40% and exceeded 11 thousand people, Shoigu said. What is the breakdown of losses on the front now according to your data?
We publish E.V. Prigozhin's comment:
"I cannot comment in any way on Shoigu's words. I have not met him in Artemivsk.
- When a village is taken by the units of PMC "Wagner", then, to make you, masters of the pen, feel more comfortable - we even post pictures and videos.
- We have never left a single village, where the footstep of the Wagner PMC was located.
- As for the movement of the front after the "mopping up of Bakhmut", the media always uses a very strange word "to clean up. In Bakhmut, according to various estimates, there are 12 to 20 thousand AFU fighters. If you mean to cleanse Bakhmut of them, then they must be destroyed - killed. If you mean to clean up their uniforms and sweep the streets - the Wagner PMC does not do that. To be able to kill 12-20 thousand Ukrainian military by tomorrow morning is very difficult. There are such masters only in the depths of the General Staff or in Soyuzmultfilm.
- By the way, thank you for your question, very timely. I have a huge request for all journalists. Let's stop running ahead of the locomotive and saying that we took Bakhmut, and what will happen after that. After all, the unhappy story about the unkilled bear says that we will not share the skin, but no one tells about the consequences of trying to take the skin off a bear that is still alive.
Let us slaughter this bear in peace. Believe me, we are doing everything for it, although we are still not given ammunition, military equipment, weapons, or transport. By the way, they gave us the spades almost a month later.
- Where the front will move to after Artemivsk is taken, you can ask Sergey Kuzugetovich. My name is Yevgeny Viktorovich.
Why Sergey Kuzugetovich talks about these prospects, I do not know. Perhaps to please the Russian audience. Perhaps to piss off Zelensky.
- We feel Zelenskiy's anger in full, and the Russian audience's joy is why the Ministry of Defense was filled with flowers for March 8.
- By the way, there is good news. Recently the PMC "Wagner" was replenished with another soldier, and his name is Alexei Stolyarov.
- As for the AFU losses, I think the defense minister has assessed them correctly. The Wagner PMC eliminated about 11,000 people in February.
- Now a bonus. On Bakhmut: there are heavy battles day and night, but the Ukrainians are not escaping anywhere. Zelensky is not running out of people, more and more thousands are being thrown into the "meat grinder. They have ammunition and weapons up to their ass, i.e. a fucking ton of them.
Once again, pay attention! The Ukrainians are not running away. They are dying en masse for Bakhmut and surrendering only as a last resort. Stop thinking of them as cowards. They are just like us, and the same blood flows in them.
