'In the absence of ammunition they're doomed to perish senselessly,' Yevgeny Prigozhin says
Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of Russia's Wagner Group mercenary force, said in a sudden and dramatic announcement on Friday that his forces would pull out of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut that they have been trying in vain to capture since last summer.
Prigozhin said they would withdraw on May 10 — ending their involvement in the longest and bloodiest battle of the war — because of heavy losses and inadequate ammunition supplies. He asked defence chiefs to insert regular army troops in their place.
"I declare on behalf of the Wagner fighters, on behalf of the Wagner command, that on May 10, 2023, we are obliged to transfer positions in the settlement of Bakhmut to units of the defence ministry and withdraw the remains of Wagner to logistics camps to lick our wounds," Prigozhin said in a statement...

You don’t air your dirty laundry in public if you are smart.
Living as slaves in the filth and FSB torture chambers of the Russian World isn’t peace. That’s why Ukrainians defend themselves against another genocidal Russian invasion of their lands.
That's old-school thinking, timebot.
Deputy Prime Minister Hanna Malyar said that Ukrainian forces destroyed a Wagner ammunition storage near Bakhmut.
These comments wow. Freepers upset that Russian mercenaries are pulling back from a sovereign nation they brutally invaded .
Reagan would slap you on both sides of your face if he was in front of you .
>you do realize that the attackers lose more people than defenders?
Uh, you’re assuming that the Russian Army is moving. Only expendable mercs are attacking, the Russian Army is just dumping artillery on targets their drones are spotting.
I can’t help feeling that all the drama between Wagner and the Russian MOD is stage theater. Are they baiting Ukraine to send even more forces into Bakhmut? It looks that way.
The question that I would have is: “Where is the ammo now?”

In Heaven?
So if pro Ukraine Freepers are Zeepers —
— does that mean pro-Putin Freepers are Peepers?
Maybe that’s why so many shirtless Putin pix get posted on here!

the old asinine "what would Reagan do?" appears again.
Reagan wasn't a war-monger. He was anti-communist, and communism died 30 years ago. So wat would Reagan have done? He wouldn't be involved in deep-state coups and trouble-making in places that did not concern us. He would be standing with real small government conservatives like Rand Paul, or even Donald Trump and RFK JR.
I will guarantee that Reagan wouldn’t be in favor of letting the evil empire invade neighboring countries .
Just because “they aren’t communist “ anymore means nothing relative to the threat they pose .
Same thuggish Russia.
trouble-making in places that did not concern us
Like the proxy war in Afghanistan? Or Beiruit?
Or bombing Libya?
Yes.Communist or not, as long as the Russians have nukes pointed at us, I would think Reagan would be helping Ukraine.
No, Reagan would not be siding with Russian militarism and rebuilding the evil empire, he knew the threat in Europe was Russia.
