Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of Russia's Wagner private mercenary group, says his troops will leave the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut between May 25 and June 1. Prigozhin recently claimed his troops had taken Bakhmut after the longest and bloodiest battle since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, while Kyiv denied the city had fallen.

In a May 22 audio report on Telegram, Prigozhin reiterated his previous statement that the ruined city will be handed over to the regular Russian military, adding that the Defense Ministry should create "a platoon of generals" to hold Russian positions in Bakhmut.

You're retarded, Marcus, just like Forest Gump.

Wagner is getting a rest after defeating the army of Soros in what used to be Bakhmut. They specialize in urban fighting.

All that is left of the Ukrainian army in Artemovsk are bones.

And, there are no Russian soldiers' bones left?

I can believe that there are no buildings left, except their bones, but, show us the Ukrainian bones you speak of.

I'd bet Russia suffered more dead and injured in that fight than the Ukrainians.

And, Bakhmut is still Ukrainian territory.

The Soviet name Artemovsk (Artemivsk) was derived from the name of the Russian Bolshevik leader Fyodor Sergeyev, also known as Comrade Artem (Artyom).

Funny you don't even try to hide being a Communist. Go to hell, Ivan.

What's really a hoot is that a Neocon like you is the one with Russian blood. Blame others for what you are, sounds like it comes straight from Trotsky, something I think you are familiar with.

Yes, why would any American or any Westerner for that matter support re-Sovietization of the post-USSR countries?

Its a dead giveaway for our Moscow mules.

There’s a tiny contingent of Ukes in Belgorod!

They found a Chinese biolab! The civilians are fleeing, or hiding indoors!

Quick! Hold a secession referendum while the going’s good!!

Hey, it worked for the DPR Putin stooges in Donetsk inin 2014.
