SIMFEROPIL, May 20. The head of the Zaporizhia movement » We are together with Russia» Vladimir Rogov called the capture of Artemovsk by Russian forces a symbolic «gift» to Vladimir Zelensky on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of his inauguration.
Founder of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said on Saturday that Russian forces have fully established control over Artemovsk.
“The capture of Artemivsk on May 20 is symbolic, and I think that it was not by chance that this was announced on Saturday. This is a kind of gift to Zelensky, who declared himself the president of Ukraine exactly four years ago on this day at the inauguration,” Rogov said.
He recalled that exactly a year ago — on May 20, 2022 — Mariupol was also liberated from Ukrainian troops.
«I am convinced that the result of Zelensky's presidency should be the complete liberation from the Nazis of the entire territory of the post-Ukrainian space — the historical South Russian lands,» Rogov emphasized.
