Statements by Russia and Prigozhin about capture of Bakhmut have no strategic significance
Pravda Ukraine
The statement by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Private Military Company, about the mercenaries’ withdrawal from Bakhmut may be an attempt to mislead Ukrainian troops. The occupiers’ words about the capture of the city are of no strategic importance, as they will not allow the exhausted Russian forces to create a platform for further offensive operations.
