Grand Muscovite strategy obviously...to get flanked and flee over the same 1.2 km piece of land that they spent 10 months taking at the cost of tens of thousands of lives, in only a single day!

Poor Prigozhin, the UA offensive in his area is not using many Western weapons - just one or two units, here and there.

Once Russia has been ejected from Ukraine we should be able to drastically scale back our presence in Europe. The power of Russian conventional forces was vastly overestimated.

Well…

if the Daily Mail said it,
Zeepers believe it,
And that settles it!

⚡️ The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an attack near Soledar and seek to encircle Bakhmut, the Kremlin's war correspondents said.

The situation on the flanks is shaping up according to the worst predicted scenario

In most wars, someone who admits that his troops are in danger of being wiped out, would be called a traitor.

In war, you don't give hope the the opposing forces, and this guy is telling them that, they're close to success.

So So, I smell disinformation on the part of the Wagner leader, and by the Russians. Meaning that, the Ukrainians had better be very careful on their approach to the fighting.

"economical with the truth."

This has to be a top 10 line in this war. :)

Wagner troops are paid convicts for whom fighting/dying is not that big of a step down from dying hungry from tb in a Russian prison. Russian regular army in Ukraine at this point includes a lot of untrained, poorly led conscripts whose zeal for the Russian invasion of Ukraine is thin at best. The two groups are rivals for resources, have different commands with competing motivations. In a conventional war with an established “front line”, if the units on your flanks retreat, you are f’ed.

It’s easy to see why Prigozhin is concerned, but why is he advertising the weaknesses of his own side? Is he playing politics with Putin (not a good long term idea) or trying to make the U’s think there is more up the Russian sleeve than there is?

Another 50 trillion dollars should cover it. The only concern is the carbon produced by running the printing presses.

🇺🇦 have carried out a series of counterattacks recapturing some blocks within the city and expanding the buffer along the Khromove road.

Total BS, all the news coming from the media. I seem to remember reporters with the troops, doing interviews and showing us proof of what is claimed. Is there even a war going on? If I watch TV, you would be hard pressed to prove it.

Wagner chief admits 'the worst predicted scenario' is coming true for Putin's troops

It is difficult to believe he would say this stuff so publicly without an ulterior motive. Makes no sense - probably more like trying to do a reverse bluff to Ukraine.
