Wagner boss fumes that Russian brigade 'fled' from Bakhmut area
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.
Prigozhin also questioned the value of capturing Bakhmut, claiming that the city "has no strategic importance."
He said, and YOU quoted, that they ran out of ammo 3 or 4 months ago. Keep that snout down in the feeding trough.
