Prigozhin's words were published by his press service in the Telegram channel.

“Today, the settlement of Krasnaya Gora was taken by assault detachments of the Wagner PMC,” Prigozhin said.

Earlier, the acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, said that the fighters of the Wagner group were entrenched in the northern part of Artyomovsk, and three of the four supply routes for the Armed Forces of Ukraine were also cut there.

Pushilin also stated that the Russian military was entrenched in the southern part of Vuhledar, but the Ukrainian command continues to transfer the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the city.
