Prigozhin spoke about the network of underground cities with tanks near Bakhmut

The press service of the Concord company published on the Telegram channel the answer of businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner PMC, to a request from journalists about what is special about Bakhmut (Artemovsk) and why he previously compared the confrontation there with the Ukrainian army with great historical battles .

“Bakhmut is the central point of the Eastern Front and a serious logistics center,” Prigogine explained the strategic importance of the city.

At the same time, he drew attention to the fact that the peculiarity of Bakhmut (Artemovsk) lies in its unique historical and geographical defense capabilities. First of all, the businessman noted that the city is divided into several parts by water barriers.

In addition, Prigozhin pointed out that the surroundings of the city are a complex of settlements that create a single defense system, and also noted the unique landscape, ravines and heights, which are natural tunnels.

“And the icing on the cake is the system of Soledar and Bakhmut mines, in fact, a network of underground cities,” the businessman emphasized. Prigozhin added that at a depth of 80-100 meters there is a cluster of people and even tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are moving.

“And stockpiles of weapons have been stored since the First World War,” Prigozhin added.

In early January, Yevgeny Prigozhin said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had created “five hundred lines of defense” in Artemovsk, which explains the difficulty in advancing Russian forces. Prigozhin also compared the battles for this city with the battles of Kulikovo and Borodino.
