The founder of the private military company Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, denied the information that representatives of the organization completely liberated the village of Orekhovo-Vasilevka near Artemovsk.

On Sunday, March 12, the head of the Wagner private military company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, circulated a comment on the situation near Artemovsk. A number of Russian publications announced on the eve of the complete liberation of the colony by PMC fighters. The head of the organization denied the information and asked the media “not to run in front of the locomotive”.

— Gentlemen, Orekhovo-Vasilevka is not under the control of Wagner PMC at the moment. And with your statements to the media, LOMs (public opinion leaders – editor’s note) and other experts, you warn the enemy of the nature of our actions, summed up Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Previously, the contractor was advised to order weapons and equipment for a private military company outside Russia. According to media observers, the Wagner PMC cannot depend solely on the supply of domestic weapons, unlike the country’s Ministry of Defense.
