Concerned about Ukraine amassing forces around Bakhmut is creator of Wagner PMC Prigozhin

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Russian private military firm Wagner, claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces organized a military force to obstruct his fighters near Bakhmut.

“All that is required to unblock Bakhmut is to obstruct the Wagner PMC. To accomplish this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces formed several groups, including the 67th brigade in Sloviansk, the 81st and 66th brigades in Siversk, another group in Chasiv Yar, and one in Konstantinivka “In response to a query regarding the military command of Ukraine’s decision to keep defending Bakhmut, he said.

This might result in a “pie” situation, said Prigozhin.He emphasized that the Wagner PMC served as the shell and that the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ forces that were encircled by us served as the filler.

“Knocking on all doors, sounding the alarm regarding the ammo and reinforcements, as well as covering the flanks,” the creator of the Wagner PMC claimed. He claims that in order to avoid a major tragedy, concerted action is required by the Russian soldiers close to Bakhmut.

“If all parties work together in unison and without desire or hysteria, we will block the Ukrainian Armed Forces rather than them blocking us. If not, then everything will be messed up “According to Prigozhin’s press office, he said.According to him, he will personally become the “cherry” on top of this “pie” and together with the Wagner mercenaries will be trapped.

“The Ukrainian Armed Forces will fight for Bakhmut to the end, and this is obvious. We have to do our job to the end, too. But when the whole world is against you, it is necessary that someone reaches out to you. Therefore, we knock on all doors,” Prigozhin summed up.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces will continue to defend Bakhmut and strengthen positions in the city. The decision to continue defending Bakhmut was made at today’s meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief’s Staff.
