The head of the private military company Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin explained his words about the temporary artillery ceasefire due to the visit of American journalists to Artemovsk (renamed Bakhmut).
Earlier, Prigozhin said that after learning that the commander of the 57th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign “Cerberus” was taking American journalists to Artemivsk, he decided to cease artillery fire.
According to the founder Wagner, information was received that American media personnel accompanied by the commander of the 57th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “Cerberus” are moving from Spring Hours to Artemovsk. Prigozhin complained that after his statement, all the Russian media came out with headlines that “The attack on Artemovsk has been suspended.”
“For a laugh, I made a statement to the media. Guys, this is such military humor. Humor and nothing but humor,” he explained.
