Doesn't sound much like winning to me...
To: Timber Rattler
Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin is a Russian oligarch and a close confidant of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Prigozhin is sometimes called “Putin’s chef”, because he owns restaurants and catering companies that provide services for the Kremlin.
The FBI noted that Prigozhin has ties to Russia, Indonesia, and Qatar and should be considered an international flight risk. He is also believed to be a founder of the Wagner Group, a private paramilitary group that recently deployed 400 troops with the mission of assassinating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Doesn't sound much like winning to me... Nothing from the WaPo over the past twenty years sounds like factual journalism to me.
YMMV

Sounds like the Bidens or Obamas throwing lavish parties as they invade nation after nation, threatening anyone who doesn’t get on board as unpatriotic.

Why didn’t you post his comments on Bakhmut last week? You are very selective in the disinfo you traffic in. His multiple “quotes” about Russian catastrophes in Bakhmut (all proven to be BS), you can’t wait to come here spewing. Last week, crickets from you. Here we have another of your posts from him where you will end up, once again, looking ridiculous. You only post if it’s officially sanctioned from your media masters/government disinfo clearinghouse. DC government stoogism at its finest.

Funny I recall the compost telling us just a few weeks ago Russia was loosing miserably and Ukraine was going to start the new super secret spring offensive and crush Russian forces.
Now the new story is the Russian victory is actually a defeat, ya nothing says losing like winning.
Damn it is almost summer, one might think the compost was just propaganda.

I don’t like liars. I really don’t like lying out of desperation. All at once over night after a win and we hear this?
Take a few days off and prepare for the big counter offensive or WWIII or whatever.

Maybe it's quietly underway and you just don't know it yet. The Belgorod raid just didn't happen in a strategic vacuum.
And where's your Kremlin pal kiryandil? Did he go the way of cranked?

All at once over night after a win and we hear this? So you're denying that Prigozhin said what he said, even though it's on Telegram and Russian media?

Putin better silence Prigozhin or the Kremlin may silence both of them.

Anything that calls him the founder and leader of Wagner is being dishonest. He didn't just start his own private army in Russia. Wagner is a branch of the Russian military and intelligence agency. It is directly under the control of the Russian military. Prigozhin is a figurehead and the face of Wagner.

He also called for totalitarian policies.
He sees how democrats are doing it in the U.S., so, he thinks it will work well in Russia too.

Sounds like another Pulitzer award-winning story. How Ukraine defeated Russia and caused the downfall of Putin. Facts? They don’t need no stinkin’ facts.

Now the new story is the Russian victory is actually a defeat, ya nothing says losing like winning. The term you’re looking for is Pyrrhic victory. e.g. spending 9 months and losing 10s of thousands of soldiers to advance 3km.
More ‘victories’ of this nature will require the Russians to refurbish even more of their 70 year old T-55s and send them to the front.
