The head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group said on Sunday that his forces had captured all the territory in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut as promised and would leave the conflict zone later this week.

"Wagner has made no advances. Wagner today captured no territory. We have captured all the territory we promised to capture, right up to the last centimetre," Yevgeny Prigozhin said in an audio message posted on Telegram messaging app.

"As we stated yesterday. We are handing over our positions to (Russia's) Defence Ministry and on the 25th (of May) we are leaving the conflict zone."

It was Zelensky that was feeding his troops into the Russian meat grinder. Russia has a 10-1 in ammo fired and that's about the same kill ratio in Russia's favor.

The Ukrainians have even had a battle with the regular Russian military on the ground. It was the Chechens in Mariupol, Wagner in Bakhmut and the LPR and DPR earlier in the war in Donbass.

Ukraine, meanwhile, has suffered upwards of 300,000 causalities. Ukraine started out with 600,000 men and is scramble to train new recruits for an offensive.

It took them 10 months to capture a small town in Ukraine.
The United States would wipe the floor with Wagner. And their scumbag mercenary prisoners are the “best” Russia has to offer.

Yep they might have “full control” of a dicktown in Ukraine.

That was their prize after 225 days?

In Russian Bachmut translates into “Russians go here to die”.

Anyone who listens to you make up “facts” is a fool.
Prigozhin said the Russians lost 5 to 1.
But you’re here to propagandize the opposite.

I have this on sale right now for $376 per case of 12. It's a pretty decent price and it's probably going to go exponential in price soon. Interested?

On another note, are you really that Adorno, as in Theodor Adorno, the infamous, endlessly blathering leftist ideologue of the Frankfurt School? If so, I really hope I don't get stuck listening to you in an elevator bloviating about the Twelve Tone System. . . Lol!

Slavo Youcraney!

You are confusing the grandma who destroyed what she thinks was a little burglar drone scoping out empty apartments at her balcony while she was sitting there smoking, she hit it with a jar of tomatoes.

You must be confusing it with something about a Russian military drone story.
