The representative of the Eastern Group of Ukrainian Armed Forces, Serhiy Cherevaty, said that the words of PMC Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin that 80% of Bakhmut is under the control of Russian forces do not correspond to reality. This Ukrainian speaker said in an interview with the American television channel CNN.
This statement by Prigogine is not true. I have just contacted the commander of one of the brigades defending the city. I can say with confidence that the Ukrainian Defense Forces control a much larger percentage of Bakhmut territory,” Cherevaty said.
At the same time, the representative of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not specify what percentage of the territory of Bakhmut is controlled by the Ukrainian military contingent. In turn, Prigozhin described in sufficient detail what part of the city is under the control of the PMCs. He noted that Wagner controls not only the administrative building in Bakhmut, but also factories, factories and other administrative centers.
Earlier, Glavny Regionalny reported that Prigozhin said units of the Russian Airborne Forces were covering the flanks of the advancing PMC Wagner fighters.
