The Russian Defense Ministry did not respond right away. Days after claiming his men had taken control of the destroyed eastern Ukrainian city, Wagner’s leader revealed on Thursday that his forces had begun leaving Bakhmut and turning the city over to the Russian military.
Since Wagner’s invention, Prigozhin and the Russian military hierarchy have been at odds. He has also developed a reputation for making contentious assertions that make headlines yet are frequently unfounded.
Wagner’s departure from the bombed-out city has not yet been officially verified, and Wagner’s withdrawal from the bombed-out city could not be independently confirmed, and the Ukrainian General Staff said on Wednesday that fierce fighting was still going on there after a nine-month conflict that claimed tens of thousands of lives.
A day after again defying the Kremlin line on Ukraine, he made a clear declaration of his plans for the upcoming week in Bakhmut. He confessed that Russian troops have killed people and that their attempt to demilitarize the nation has backfired.
He also agreed with Western estimates that he lost more than 20,000 men in the struggle for Bakhmut. Mykhailo Podolyak, a top advisor to the Ukrainian president, stated on Thursday that the counteroffensive was already in progress but warned against viewing it as Mykhailo Podolyak, a top advisor to the Ukrainian president, declared on Thursday that the counteroffensive had already begun and that it shouldn’t be viewed as a “single event” beginning “at a specific hour of a specific day.”
In a tweet, Podolyak said that “dozens of different actions” had already “been taking place yesterday, are taking place today, and will continue tomorrow” to eliminate Russian occupation soldiers.
