Ukrainian authorities They branded the Wagner Group chairman’s statements as “false information” this MondayYevgeny Prigozhin, On the alleged capture of the city of BakhmutIt is located in the Donetsk region (east).
“Calmly respond to false information from those who dream of ‘victories’ that do not really exist,” said Andriy Yermak, Head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, in a text message published on his Telegram account.
Then Oleksander Sirskii, Commander of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Army, assured Bakhmut. It is still under the control of the Ukrainian Army. and indeed, Russian troops and mercenaries of the Wagner Group are losing power among the population in question.
“The enemy weakens and tries to cover up his failures with new frauds. About the capture of Bakhmut. But the truth is that the success of the work of the Ukrainian Armed Forces refutes all Russian propaganda efforts,” he said.
Thus, the Commander of the Land Forces valued the labor of every Ukrainian soldier deployed in Bakhmut, and they succeeded in repelling the Ukrainian troops. “We will defeat them because it is our land.. Bakhmut is Ukraine”, Sirskii settled.
Earlier this Monday, Prigozhin noted that mercenaries from the Wagner Group had been controlling the center of Bakhmut, the epicenter of the fighting, for several weeks. While Moscow has not disclosed itself, the Wagner Group has occasionally announced that places have been taken before Russia’s official approval.
The chairman of the Wagner Group said last week: Clashes around Bakhmut “de facto destroyed” the Ukrainian ArmyPro-Russian officials in Donetsk, on the other hand, claimed that Russian forces controlled the industrial zone of the city. However, British intelligence services claimed that the area was “possibly controversial” at the time.
