The boss of Russian mercenary group Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, accused a Russian brigade of abandoning its position in front-line Bakhmut, allowing Ukraine to seize territory.
The remarks are the latest in a series of public criticisms from him of Moscow’s Ministry of Defense for the faltering invasion of Ukraine – and, in particular, the failure to capture the city of Bakhmut. But while Prigozhin has frequently poured scorn on the Russian military and its leadership, he has not previously accused Russian units of running from battle and allowing Ukrainian forces to recapture territory.
Prigozhin said the 72nd brigade “just ran the hell out of there.”
Responding to questions from a Russian media outlet, Prigozhin said: “There is a serious risk of encirclement of PMC Wagner in Bakhmut as a result of the failure of the flanks. The flanks are already cracking and falling through.”
“At the moment, within the city of Bakhmut, there is only Wagner PMC, there are no other units. Outside Bakhmut [there is] only the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. PMC Wagner is not there,” he said.

Yep, I sure did and I stand by it. I’m sick of you Youkazoids and your nastiness. Using your tactics against you seems to be the only thing you understand.
I’m sure I could probably find more examples, but you’ve already lost the argument
I’m not arguing with you; I learned long ago that trying to have a rational discussion with a Youkazoid is an exercise in futility. I might go a round or two for my own entertainment, but then I usually just offer the Youkazoid the last word and walk away. But knock yourself out, Puddin’ Pop.

The way to stop it is for Russia to leave Ukraine.
Anything else is just kicking the can down the toad at best, but more likely just creating a lower intensity war that flares up again in a year
“But knock yourself out, Puddin’ Pop”
Thank you for once again proving my point.
Any time, Toots!
