“Information was received that the“ Cerberus ”, the commander of the 57th Brigade of the Armed Forces, was lucky with American journalists to Bakhmut. It was decided to suspend artillery fire so that American journalists could calmly shoot Bakhmut and go home, ”the audio recorded by the press service of Yevgeny Prigozhin said. Prigozhin later called his statement a joke, "military humor."
