Prigozhin accuses Defense Ministry troops of ‘giving up ground without a fight’ near Bakhmut

Wagner Group founder Evgeny Prigozhin accused the regular army of the Russian Federation of giving up ground without a fight near Bakhmut.

“The situation on the flanks is developing according to the worst predictions. The territories that our comrades gave their blood and their lives to win, gaining dozens or hundreds of meters daily, are today being lost without a fight by those who should be holding our flanks,” he said.

The Wagner Group founder also says that his assault troops are successfully advancing in the city of Bakhmut itself. Prigozhin says his fighters have “only 625 meters” (2,050 feet) to the city’s western edge.
