The founder of Russia's Wagner mercenary force has said his troops now tightening their grip on the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut are being deprived of ammunition and that, if they are forced to retreat, the entire front will collapse.
Meanwhile, woman and 2 children reported killed by Russian bomb in Kherson region villageUkrainian servicemen drive a tank in the village of Chasiv Yar, near the city of Bakhmut in the region of Donbas on Sunday. For seven months, Ukraine and Russian forces have been battling fiercely for control of Bakhmut.
Reuters could not independently verify when and where the video was recorded. It was published not on Prigozhin's usual press service Telegram channel, but on one that has associated itself with Wagner and disseminated news about Prigozhin. Prigozhin delivered his monologue in what appeared to be a bunker, with a dim light casting his heavy shadow on the wall behind him.
U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Monday that if Ukrainian forces decided to reposition west of Bakhmut, he would not view that as a strategic setback. "The situation in Bakhmut can be described as critical," Ukrainian military analyst Oleh Zhdanov said in a video commentary.
