Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the paramilitary Wagner Group that has fought alongside the Russian military in the war in Ukraine, admitted that the "meat grinder" battle for Bakhmut is far from over.

Prigozhin, a Russian businessman, told The Moscow Times, an independent newspaper based in Amsterdam, that his troops "will not be celebrating in the near future" as the battle pushes on. He said Ukraine's military has become more active in the city, pulling in "more and more new reserves" to fight to prevent a Russian breakthrough.

Up to 500 new fighters have become engaged in Bakhmut each day "from all directions," Prigozhin said. Meanwhile, artillery fire has continued to intensify.

Just two weeks ago ZeEPERS were posting that this city was insignificant.

Now Uke is sending in fresh reserves to keep fighting.

Zeeperworld is a fascinating place to visit.

This means they’re about to crush Bakhmut.

All the people there are walking dead anyway.

I don’t understand, do you think the war is being directed by people’s posts here?

If you’re unhappy with the head of the Wagner group, complain to him.

Videos/photos I’ve seen are horrible for both sides.......fierce fighting.bombing doesn’t say enough. War is ugly and where they are there are no rules of engagement as all are trying just to stay alive.

At the rate Russia’s “advances” in the quagmire are chewing up its troops, the wanna-be Tsar is gonna have to do another mobilization this spring ...

and this time it would have to include the honkies in St. Petersburg and Moscow, who have escaped any draft so far ... how well that goes over will be reeeeal interesting ...

Little. I’m always shocked by failed products of the American education system like you. Ukraine is the size of Texas.

The amount of childish emotion displayed over this issue is a sight to behold.
