The Wagner Group mercenary army appears to abandon plans to withdraw from Bachmoet. The Kremlin is said to have promised more weapons so attacks on the city could continue. Bachmut is seen by Russia as a stepping stone to other cities in the Donbass region.
Wagner’s chief executive, Yevgeny Prigozhin, previously said he would withdraw from the city because it would no longer receive ammunition. As a result, his army suffers “unnecessary and unjustified” losses. He now he seems to be backing down on this decision. “We have been promised that everything necessary will be deployed to prevent the enemy from cutting off our supplies,” Prigozhin said in a message to Telegram.
The Russian Defense Ministry has not yet responded to the statements of the boss Wagner. According to Ukraine, Wagner is trying to divert attention from the heavy losses with statements in recent days. “In the last 24 hours, 489 attacks have been carried out in the area around Bachmoet. Is that ammo hunger?’
