Wagner mercenary group says it has been promised more arms by Moscow, suggesting they may keep up their assault on eastern Ukraine city
Russia’s Wagner mercenary group appeared on Sunday to ditch plans to withdraw from Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, saying they had been promised more arms by Moscow and suggesting they may keep up their assault on what Russia sees a stepping stone to other cities in the Donbas region.
A spokesman for Russia’s defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment after Prigozhin’s latest statement. “Four hundred eighty-nine artillery strikes over the past 24 hours in the area around Bakhmut – is that an ammunition hunger?” Ukrainian troops have been pushed back in recent weeks but have clung on in the city to inflict as many Russian losses as possible ahead of Kyiv’s planned big push against the invading forces along the 1,000-km front line.
