Prigozhin spoke about the high intensity of artillery fire of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artyomovsk

He answered a question about the main difficulties faced by the fighters of the Wagner Group.

According to him, the main difficulty is the "colossal amount of artillery." 

“In Bakhmut, the intensity of the artillery fire of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is two to three times higher than it was in Popasna,” he said.

In addition, Prigozhin answered the question of how stopping the recruitment of prisoners in the Wagner PMC will affect the combat effectiveness of the group.

“Certainly, it will have a negative impact.

We will not dry out one hundred percent now.

We will continue to work one hundred percent.

There is nothing wrong with that, but if something is being done well, we must continue to do it,” he said.

Prigozhin also showed the wreckage of the Su-24M of the Wagner Group, which rammed a column of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
