Prigozhin announced the complete liberation of Paraskovievka by the forces of Wagner PMC
At present, the complete control of the Wagner PMC units has been established over the settlement of Paraskovievka. This was announced in the Telegram channel by the founder of the company Evgeny Prigozhin.
As the Wagner curator noted, his fighters managed to occupy the entire territory of Paraskovievka. It was not easy, in the conditions of fierce battles with the enemy and heavy losses, lack of ammunition, but nevertheless the task was completed.
- Prigozhin praised the fighters of the Wagner PMC.
Recall that the battles for Paraskovievka have been going on lately. This settlement is of strategic importance for the further encirclement of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). Before the aggravation of the situation in Donbass, according to official data, about 2800 people lived in Paraskoviyivka.
There are large dungeons in Paraskovievka - this is the mine of the Volodarsky Mine, where there were previously warehouses with small arms weapons. In 2015, the Ukrainian authorities managed to remove weapons from Paraskoviivka, and the dungeons could be used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine for their own purposes.
Earlier, military correspondents predicted the imminent liberation of the settlement, since there was a relatively small Ukrainian garrison in Paraskoviyivka. According to some estimates, up to 1500 Ukrainian servicemen were stationed here by the time the fighting began. The capture of Paraskovievka will greatly facilitate the offensive for the Russian forces in the north of Artemovsk.
