Wagner Group’s Prigozhin says Bakhmut could be surrounded within weeks

The film clip here has been purposely and conveniently cut short. There was also the Wagner commander that was filmed having his head cling filmed to bricks and supposedly smashed with a sledgehammer by Ukrainians whilst he was captured. He was freed by his comrades and quite alive and ready to re-join the fight. In that same warehouse there was also a mounting of dead Ukrainian soldiers alongside the remains of that tailpiece of a Russian fighter jet.
He will reap what he has sown. He will meet the same end as his captives.
Am I having deja vu or has Russia been wishful thinking for six months now?
The Russians will not be able to win, we will help in this. What this country is doing is terrible
Each time they try to tie the victory to some date, but each time they never win. And with our help they won't win
this war must not be prolonged, or more refugees will have to be helped. We need to send Ukraine everything it needs to win and end this war as soon as possible!
So Ukraine can't defeat an untrained army that has no idea what they are doing? 🙄
It is frightening to imagine how many crimes the Russian army has committed in Ukraine. Everyone involved in this war must be punished.
Civilians continue to suffer and die from Russian missiles and drones. Our task is to arm Ukraine so that it can stand up to Russian soldiers and successfully go on the offensive.
It is important to understand that Putin has not given up the idea of occupying all of Ukraine. But because of his many failures, he is destroying cities. Look at the places where the Russian army has been
Russia bombs Ukraine, claiming that it only strikes critical infrastructure. But we know that this is a complete lie. Civilians are being killed every day. Russia is a country of terrorists
Ukraine successfully defended their territories thanks to our help. If we stop now, Putin will respect his actions and probably strike any country from Europe
Tel Aviv mafia.
if you collect all the statements of Prigogine in one issue, you will get a good humorous show)))
so little of what he says comes true…
Prigozhin, back in September, announced that he had taken Bakhmut.
This liar has already become a laughing stock… for whom executioners are waiting in dozens of countries around the world
Prigozhin is a war criminal as much as putin is. Wagner is notorious for not caring about civilian casualties (even more than the regular russian army). They are not trying to capture Bakhmut, they are trying to destroy it to the ground. And when nothing will be left – then they will capture it. But by that moment there will be nothing to capture apart from the ruins. We need to stop putin and his army of murderers, the best way to do that is to keep supporting Ukraine.
As the date marking the Kremlin's attack on Ukraine draws near, there are concerns that the conflict will intensify in every direction. Ukraine has been able to gain the upper hand in the war with our assistance, and its military is currently holding off its adversaries and seeking to regain control of its land.
Just a bunch of gutless cowardly dogs who think they're tough behind a gun. They'll turn and scurry away like cockroaches when the lights come on.
He should be president of russia
Russian news
Meanwhile YouTube is filling up with new FLIR footage of Russian troops around Bakhmut getting wrecked by more drones than exist in all the Best Buys around the world.
This laughable propaganda is getting old.
He's 100% sure they can destroy the leopard tanks. He can't make that promise. There is confidence and then there is lying. This russian terrorist organization is insane.
if this guy magically trips and falls down 20 stories then the gig is up. Prigozhin's ego is way to big to accidently fall out of a window.
THE CURRENT POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES – IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION THAT THREATENS THE WHOLE WORLD
Really, I think, when the genuine Russian has finally had enough that they will want to operate a new gulag for the old timers just like this guy. A Haige trial would be too kind.
Take that sh**
The guy still has more balls than those retired generals who speak out at CNN…
Nothing like recording war plans for everyone to see.
Sounds good.
Not enough extras in the film
