Meanwhile, Prigozhin feels the proximity of trouble.
The enemy has significantly reduced the number of attacks in Bakhmut. Meanwhile, the Armed Forces will take advantage of the rotation process of the Russian occupiers to inflict maximum damage on them.
About it on the air of the TV channel FREEDOM reported Serhii Cherevaty, spokesman for the Eastern Group of Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“The enemy has significantly reduced the number of attacks in recent days. In the two previous days, there were three combat clashes in this direction. For this day, two clashes are completely uncharacteristic. All these months, the epicenter of all hostilities was exactly Bakhmut. However, he is trying to inflict a fire defeat with approximately the same regularity — fired at our positions 332 times with barrel and rocket artillery, one air raid,” Cherevaty informed.
According to Cherevaty, the founder of the terrorist group PMK “Wagner” Yevhen Prigogine latently capitulates.
“For many weeks in a row, we have been talking about the fact that the Wagner terrorists are being hit by very powerful blows from our side, and they are suffering colossal losses. We said that in the near future this would lead to their complete defeat. And this premature statement about the alleged capture of Bakhmut is just such a latent capitulation of this war criminal and freak Prigozhin. We are indeed observing a decrease in the number of attacks and rotational processes. What exactly are the divisions, how many “Wagners” are there, what they will be replaced with and whether they will all be replaced – we are monitoring it, we will see in the near future. And, of course, as we have always done, we will use this rotational moment to inflict even more damage on the enemy,” the spokesman said.
Ukrainian servicemen do not pay attention to Prigozhin’s loud statementsso the battles continue, reconnaissance, pre-reconnaissance of targets, strikes and destruction of the enemy, too.
“The only thing that Wagner has shown lately is that, because of their bloody discipline under the threat of death, they were the most effective in terms of attacks. But in what way the most effective? They did it permanently, constantly, because these small groups went one after another attacked, but at the same time suffered simply huge losses. If we look at the beginning of the conflict, the entire invasion group was 170 thousand, 205,260 occupiers were destroyed, as the General Staff said this morning, that is, more than the invasion group. The “Wagner” also got there , and mobilized,” Cherevaty said.
He clarified that, moreover, they have already started such central processes, when Prigozhin feels the proximity of turmoil, as they call it, he can make statements that will destabilize both their society and their army.
“He constantly humiliates them. He says that they are not capable of anything – both the leadership itself and individual units. Therefore, even now, if he keeps his word and returns to Russia, he will continue to do so. Therefore, what our Armed Forces did, destroying them and bringing the rout closer, is already starting to sprout systemic and crisis phenomena, as in their army, which is not capable of, as they said, a “great strategic offensive”, but and on local attacks at the platoon-company level, it is getting harder and harder for them,” concluded Serhiy Cherevaty.
Previously, the leader of the “Wagneri” Evgeny Prigozhin stated that his PMK had begun to withdraw from Bakhmut and were allegedly handing over their positions to the regular army of the Russian Federation.
We will remind 106 defenders of Ukraine were rescued from Russian captivity. All of them protected Bakhmut.
