The boss of the feared Russian Wagner mercenary group has gloated to Ukraine by posing in a salt mine in a key battleground.
Yevgeny Prigozhin stood defiantly alongside Vladimir Putin's private paramilitary fighters in the Soledar pit as he claimed his mercenaries have single-handedly taken control of the eastern Ukraine town, which has been razed by brutal fighting.
However, the claim prompted the Russian army to issue a statement saying fighting for the town is still on-going, thus denying Prigozhin's brazen claim.
The unusual contradiction from Moscow raises questions over whether the Russian president has lost control of the Wagner warlord and his men, amid suggestions that Kremlin officials are growing dissatisfied with Putin's leadership.

Doesn’t say much about the ability and quality of the Russian military if it has to rely on mercenaries to do its work.
You’re quite the johnny-one-note...
I think they’re drawing the wrong conclusions. The daily mail that is, they were storing stuff in that salt mine and I don’t think that Russia wants NATO to know that they have control of it just yet while they take inventory.

What kind of idiot wants to jerk off a bear. You intel people are done. Solidar and Bachmut are not important.... right? Our intel people are idiots. Peeing up a rope wearing helicopter hats. Morons.
Meanwhile the elite US troops are engaging in drug dealing and human trafficking.
I bragged that my wife’s apple pie is better than what of yours.
Are you losing control?
The most pressing question: who cares?
The US does too.
I have posted quite a bit on mu opinion on the US using mercs. It is stupid and ultimately will lead to bad outcomes.
But it was the new hot crazy, and cheaper than having a professional army. No VA benefits
Who cares? Putin has died 25 times already according the Zeeper chickenhawks.
Oh puleeeze.
Maybe it was the globohomo tapes.
Or the biolab reports.
“What kind of idiot wants to (redacted) a bear.”
What kind of degenerate has such foul imagery in their head?
One thing we know for sure is who ISN’T in control of Soledar, i.e. the apedookey4brains hohos and their apedookey4brains nazi government.
The difference is that while other countries may use contractors (mercs), those contractors are not a major battle force (they are used primarily for clandestine operations and security). With Russia, however, the Wagner Group is an essential battle element that is a recognized and integral part of the Russian military apparatus, and enjoys substantial authority in military operations.
