'In the absence of ammunition they're doomed to perish senselessly,' Yevgeny Prigozhin says
Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of Russia's Wagner Group mercenary force, said in a sudden and dramatic announcement on Friday that his forces would pull out of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut that they have been trying in vain to capture since last summer.
Prigozhin said they would withdraw on May 10 — ending their involvement in the longest and bloodiest battle of the war — because of heavy losses and inadequate ammunition supplies. He asked defence chiefs to insert regular army troops in their place.
"I declare on behalf of the Wagner fighters, on behalf of the Wagner command, that on May 10, 2023, we are obliged to transfer positions in the settlement of Bakhmut to units of the defence ministry and withdraw the remains of Wagner to logistics camps to lick our wounds," Prigozhin said in a statement...

How are the “losing” it? They are transferring the positions to defense units.
And the color of the sky in your world is?
Sorry, I actualy READ THE ARTICLE.
If anything, they’re trying to draw more more Ukrainians into the grinder.
You didn’t read very far... This is the very first line... “’In the absence of ammunition they’re doomed to perish senselessly,’”
Bkmk
Nope. Prizgozhin melted down on video yesterday.
Perhaps this is Russia playing games with Ukraine?

I’ve heard similar things from Zeepers here when Ukrainian battfield leaders made similar feints, one here on FR even quoted Sun Tzu, so I guess Zeepers can now say Russia is doing the same thing.
Or perhaps believe nothing from either side and nothing the Establishment MSM tells us.
VICTORY!!!
Russia is starting using 250 and 500kg glide bombs launched from bombers in bakmut and other places in recent weeks
These bombs can travel 40-80km meaning the bombers are out of Air defense range
Ukraine is trrung to move what S300 air defense systems they have left
closer to the front line to counter but they get into the range of lancet drones .
New videos in recent days of Russian drones taking out s300’s and many of the glide bomb attacks
Ukraine is in panic begging for F-16’s to shoot down the bombers
But on the other hand, the Russians controlling 99 percent of it after nearly a year is like the Dallas Cowboys playing Podunk High and scoring 21 points in the first half.
I always believe advanced notice of troop movements. /s
The point is the pile of unburied Ukie bodies.
Hitting the KooklAid again, I see...
After hearing that fall back talk from the Russian side, if I were the CIC of Ukraine I would prepare for the opposite - a major Russian attack. But that’s just me.
