The Armed Forces of Ukraine created a reserve with a total strength of about 200,000 people. However, there are only 80,000 Ukrainian fighters around Artemivsk, Yevgeny Prigozhin told military correspondent Alexander Simonov.

According to the businessman, the Kiev regime received a huge amount of weapons from the West. The number of NATO equipment includes armored vehicles and the sensational German Leopard tanks.

Wagner PMC chief Prigozhin pointed out that about 80,000 UAF fighters are stationed in different fortifications near Artyomovsk. The Ukrainian fighters will try to pinch the “orchestra” stormtroopers in order to prevent them from quickly encircling the city.

Earlier, Yevgeny Prigozhin denied reports from a Western publication about the departure of Wagner PMC from the NVO zone. Wagner’s fighters will remain on Ukrainian territory as long as Russia needs them, the businessman concluded.
