Yevgeny Prigozhin confirmed that the Ministry of Defense took over the security of the flanks in the Artyomovsk area

In a situation where the enemy has accumulated large forces in the Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) area with the clear intention of releasing his garrison in this city and, if possible, breaking through to the east, it is extremely important not to allow him to hit the flanks of a group of Russian troops. Earlier, Yevgeny Prigozhin made statements that it was necessary to strengthen the flanks of the Wagner PMC and support them at the expense of units of the RF Armed Forces. He sent a corresponding request to the Ministry of Defense of the country.

Today, the curator of PMC "Wagner", answering the question of journalists from the "Voice of the Regions", said that his requests did not go unheeded.

According to Yevgeny Prigozhin, the country's Ministry of Defense has undertaken to ensure security on the flanks in the Artyomovsk region. In the city itself, where the day before the Wagner fighters completely cleared the AZOM plant, along with its many kilometers of underground communications, fighting continues. PMC "Wagner" are moving towards the center.

Fights go along the streets of Mariupol and Independence. Russian forces are squeezing the enemy garrison into an operational vice literally a couple of hundred meters from the regional administration of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). The enemy is trying to cling to the intersection of Shirokaya and Mariupolskaya streets in the hope that Wagner will not be able to enter the city center from this direction.

At the same time, the direction in the northwest and southwest of Artemovsk was fortified so that the enemy could not cut through the grouping of Russian forces in the Bakhmut-Soledar agglomeration with simultaneous strikes. Otherwise, the enemy could nullify all the successes of the Wagner PMC in recent months on this sector of the front.

Hello, the editorial staff of the Voice of the Regions media is concerned, we would like to ask a question directly to Evgeny Viktorovich:
Dear Evgeny Viktorovich, you have repeatedly stated that you need support on the flanks, including in an open letter to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation S.K. Shoigu on March 20. Have any measures been taken?

Evgeny Prigogine's commentary:
"Yes, the Department of Defense has taken over the security on the flanks." Surprisingly, extremely and unusually short commentary by E.V. Prigogine!!!

[Reserve officer]

Enough with the genitals already. This is not a village disco, friend or foe. SVO is a common cause. The whole country.

[Fizik13]

WE MUST WIN!
BUT have questions?
Why do we have pig flu again in the north, sorry swine?
WHY IT IS NOT IN THE US AND IN THE EU?
Where are our special services, or are we so peaceful. when we have a HUGE MULTIPLE BIOLABORATORIES under our noses, such as in Georgia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan ...........

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Here are just shelling and bombing of Kramatorsk, Konstantinovka and Chasov Yar, some rare and irregular. I would like to see more extensive preventive measures.

After the liberation of Artemovsk, shelling will be regular, as they are next in line.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

But now the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are accumulating there and the transport infrastructure is being used. Anyway, the bridges will then be destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the retreat, it is wiser to destroy them immediately when they are used to supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut.

Everything is very interesting! Prigogine claims that about 80 thousand people, the Khokhlomani group, "accumulated" for a counter-offensive on Bakhmut. 80000 people??? It is necessary to place, disperse equipment, provide BC, food, medical care ???
Who is brainwashing whom? Do we still have national intelligence facilities?
Bridges, junction stations, traction, railway ? The actions of our General Staff, Moscow Region, when these objects are not destroyed, are comparable to treason !!! (IMHO)

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

I also don’t understand how you can start an offensive and not carry out daily preventive bombardments of at least the nearest railway stations. Any offensive can be bogged down if the enemy is able to freely transfer reserves by rail.

[Gnefredov]

Great news. I Artyomovsk tse Russia but the arrival in the Tula region is apparently from anger and impotence. As a real terrorist state, Ukraine is at war with civilians. So petty...

And what, the Outskirts, as a terrorist state, was recognized by our Duma? Maybe she declared the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the SBU - terrorist organizations?

I agree, it's so petty.... It's petty that the legislative authorities of the Russian Federation are silent, or maybe they are waiting for the will of the "great helmsman"?

In the Duma, any law, without looking at the opinions of other parties, can adopt or crush the EP, but its leader seems to be interested in other issues.

[ivan2022]

Two things are not clear.
1. Why is Wagner's connection with the public a matter for Prigozhin, and not for the founder and current commander of the PMC, retired General Utkin?
I would prefer to know the opinion of a professional military man, and not a pharmacist - a pharmacist.

2. How will open reports about the satisfaction of Prigozhin's public demands at the expense of forces and means withdrawn from other directions be regarded if the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine begins precisely in these bare directions?

Will Russia rejoice that Prigozhin is all right, and all the others are "talentless"?

[Volodin]

Quote: ivan2022

Open messages about the satisfaction of Prigozhin's public demands at the expense of forces and means taken from other directions

Hmm ... And where and who said that "satisfaction of requirements" was due to "exposing other directions"?

[ivan2022]

Have you read about the fact that Prigozhin reported about the 80th grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the insufficiency of his forces? And now, after reading the article, fold. two and two in your head, isn't it hard?

[Stepan S]

Ivan, are you Ivan or Mykola? And who do you think should cover the flanks? The Poles or the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who should be entrusted with this? If Wagner is fighting in the city, then why should the Russian Armed Forces wait indifferently at the Moscow Ring Road, how will everything turn out there?

[ivan2022]

Quote: Stepan S

Ivan, and you ... And who do you think should cover the flanks? The Poles or the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who should be entrusted with this? If Wagner is fighting in the city, then what is the sun ....

Let me rephrase my question for you:
“But the military won’t figure it out without you? And why do we constantly hear Prigozhin and he has already got everyone all over the country with messages about the operational actions of the AFRF?”

[Ratibor_A]

It was he who got you ukrofascists, and he only makes the people of Russia happy ...

[kromer]

Quote: ivan2022

and not the founder and current commander of the PMC - retired general Utkin?

Actually, he is a lieutenant colonel in the reserve. Or did I miss something?
He is one of the founders, but no one knows who the real commander of the PMC is.

In fact, he outgrew a lieutenant colonel a long time ago. And if you use the Internet, type in the search engine the question "commander of the PMC Wagner." Utkin Lieutenant General of the GRU. And in the reserve he is with the RF Armed Forces. Because a representative of the Moscow Region cannot command a commercial PMC.

It is probably more interesting for stubborn gentlemen commentators to read the messages of a pharmacist's pharmacist, and not a professional military man, whoever he may be ...
Yes..s...
Probably, things are not going very well in Russia, because our people are so talented ..

No way! For this, there is intelligence and the General Staff of the Russian Federation !!!

Russia will rejoice when WE win.
"Musicians" do their job and do it well! There is no need to compare the capabilities of PMCs and the Russian Army.

Something about all this worries me ... But I will not say anything ...

I also don’t understand why the West forbade Zelensky to use new deliveries of equipment for the defense of Bakhmut, there are already more than 100 Leopard tanks in Ukraine, but the enemy cannot let them into battle. High probability of occurrence. Where the "Leopards" appeared, there will be an offensive, it's time for intelligence to find out where the "cats" hide their tails.

[kakvastam]

If the tanks are "in Ukraine", then the enemy, that is, the Russian Federation, is not in control of them yet. So ask yours.

[dmi.pris1]

Yes, spit three times and knock on wood ..

[tralflot1832]

I’m looking through the English press. I’m just wondering when they will have a photo in a mourning frame of the performer of the Russian anthem. It hasn’t appeared yet. But I came across such nonsense in the Daily Express. There is no price for their idiocy. its activities to Africa. Disagreement drivers have it When there are such idiots in England, it’s a sin not to use it. Free advertising from the Daily Express, however, they are afraid.

[Carlos Hall]

Extraordinary news. I'm glad that seriousness and sanity prevailed. My congratulations to the Russian high command, and also to Wagner. Gerasimov and Prigogine are working hand in hand for Russia's victory. Craft ammo for the Zala loitering lancets on day and night shifts and give them more destructive power to destroy heavy tanks.

[boris ivanov]

alignment finished? now Prigogine and Gerasimov found a common language?

[spirit]

I don’t think, it’s just that Prigozhin illuminates everything for show, it was the same with ammunition, until there was no noise. A parquet narcissistic “oak” is unrealistic to agree with such.

[Plate]

Well, or finally thought that it is possible not in public, but in the bathhouse to find out who has more. Let's go, find out everything, write down the results, there are no more reasons for disagreement

[Mikhail Kononov]

Thank God, another problem has become less. You are doing a common thing.

[flicker]

Yevgeny Prigozhin confirmed that the Ministry of Defense took over the security of the flanks in the Artyomovsk area

It looks like kindergarten. How else can it be?!
We do the same thing.
If the Wagners go forward, then those who are on the side of them are his flanks. Conversely, if someone next to Wagner is advancing, then Wagner becomes their flank.
Good luck to all our fighters.

[Enverych]

I don’t know who crawled to which offices, who “gave back” (the term is obviously not appropriate in this context), but I cannot but rejoice that we managed to reach an agreement. Well done Prigozhin, that he did not pull the blanket over himself and asked for help, the Moscow Region did well for setting a common goal above all else.
I hope in the future the interaction between PMCs and the Defense Ministry will be easier and even more efficient.

[Father of papa carlo]

Do you think such people will suit Prigogine? Or to the zone where they belong. The cops killed the in-law. https://47news-ru.turbopages.org/47news.ru/s/articles/228310/

[Hadji Murat]

What about south direction? There was news about the removal of Muradov from the command of the East, Ugledarin took, put the marines of the Pacific Fleet

[Soldatov V.]

It would be nice to know which of the colonel generals is personally responsible for the flanks around Artyomovsk. What did he become famous for during the SVO? How many academies did he graduate from? How many wins and losses does he have?

[Scientist]

The Ministry of Defense of the country took over the security on the flanks in the Artyomovsk region

Some of us are idiots. Or I don’t understand how the MO could not take over the support of the units holding one of the front sections. Or MO, which must be begged to do this.

[alovrov]

It is written in Russian in white - earlier no one was responsible for Wagner's flanks. What is characteristic is that all as one "experts" somehow did not see this. Of course, it pleases at least the presence of verbal intervention that someone appeared on the flanks of the advancing group. But the fact that there was no one there before and no one was responsible for this shows the level at which our command is fighting. Apparently, in order to grow above yourself, you still need to miss the blows.
