Russia’s Wagner group signals it will stay in Bakhmut after threat to quit
The head of Russia’s Wagner group appears to have ditched plans to withdraw his forces from Bakhmut, in eastern Ukraine, after receiving promises overnight that they would get all the arms needed to capture the devastated city.
Yevgeny Prigozhin announced on Friday that his fighters, who have spearheaded the months-long assault on Bakhmut, would pull out because he said his men had been starved of ammunition and taken “useless and unjustified” losses as a result.
The head of Wagner has been all over the place with his public rants. Even the pro Russian sites can’t figure him out. Most figure he is trolling the West and Ukraine. Bakhmut is 99% liberated by Wagner and parts of the Russian Army. People figure he’s trying to trick the Ukrainians into sending more reserves to Bakhmut so they can be wiped out in the meat grinder.
works for me !! Not to mention he has or is getting more ammo—especially when you can sit back and bomb the crap out of them with artillery—just biding time until ground hardens to handle heavy equipment—must admit house to house –building to building is the worst—-and now with all the tunnels—–
