Prigozhin claims Wagner mercenaries have taken Blahodatne, near Bakhmut

Wagner Group mercenaries have captured Blahodatne, a village to the north of Bakhmut, says Kremlin-linked tycoon and founder of the private military company Evgeny Prigozhin.

In its morning report on January 29, Ukrainian Armed Forces included Blahodatne in a list of settlements where Ukrainian troops repelled enemy attacks. 

The Russian Ministry of Defense has not commented on Prigozhin’s information.

Meduza cannot immediately verify either side’s claims.
