“The Armed Forces of Ukraine are fighting to the last.
In the northern quarters of Artyomovsk, there are fierce battles for every street, every house, every stairwell, ”he said in a statement.
According to him, the retreat is not observed either in the northern quarters, or in the southern, or in the eastern.
This is how Prigogine responded to a request to comment on reports that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were "retreating from the northern quarters of Artyomovsk."
Earlier, the press service of Prigozhin announced that the settlement of Nikolaevka in the DPR had been taken under control.
