Russian President Vladimir Putin has congratulated members of the Wagner private military company and regular soldiers with liberating the Donbass city of Artyomovsk, also known as Bakhmut, from the Ukrainian army, the Kremlin said in the early hours of Sunday.
Wagner chief Evgeny Prigozhin said on Saturday that his soldiers had taken full control of the city.
The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the capture of Artyomovsk several hours later.
According to the MOD, the operation was completed with the assault by the Wagner fighters who had artillery and air support from regular troops.

This military success begets another question.
Is our NS useful and effective?
What have you learned and applied them in real life?
What I know is we have a Chief of Air Force General who becomes a chief in supermarket.
I think we should engaged a professional military expert like Wagner or a new set up by of the pool of ex-generals
It's cheaper and free up two years of productivity in our youths.

next to see air battle between f16 and sukhoi su-35.
if sukhoi su-35 don't win by speed it will win by numbers.
wonder how many can be supplied to ukraine.
if f16 got wipe out it may lead to losing sale internationally. more may go towards adopting su-30.
