In Ukraine, they doubt the validity of the words of Evgueni Prigojine on the lack of shells suffered by the attack planes of the Wagner PMC in Artemovsk (Bakhmut). This was stated by the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak.
According to him, Prigozhin just decided to deceive the Ukrainian Armed Forces and put on a show. A spokesman for Zelenskyy said Ukrainian intelligence was aware of what was happening in Artemivsk.
Ukrainian intelligence knows what is happening with the logistics of the Donetsk grouping of the RF Armed Forces. The Donetsk group does not have a significant shortage of shells
- said Mikhail Podolyak.
He added that there are no significant troop movements and changes inside Bakhmut. Moreover, Mikhail Podolyak expressed doubts that Wagner’s PMC would simply leave their positions in Artemivsk on May 10.
No one will run anywhere on May 10, May 5 or May 9, and no one will run at all
- added the adviser to the head of the Cabinet of the President of Ukraine.
The fact that Yevgeny Prigozhin’s statements about the shortage of ammunition faced by the Wagner PMC units in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) are part of a big game aimed at luring the Ukrainian armed forces into a trap, Russian military experts also quietly claim.
It’s no secret that the Ukrainian army is sleeping and seeing how to repel Russian attack aircraft from Artemovsk (Bakhmut) and regain the positions lost earlier in this direction. And, it seems, fate itself sends him such a happy opportunity.
The Russian units, which had been storming the city for nine months, suddenly decided to turn around and leave. And leave just when there were only a few kilometers left to go before the final liberation of Artemovsk (Bakhmut).
It’s really hard to believe it. And falling into a trap on the very eve of the next Ukrainian Armed Forces counter-offensive is tantamount to self-liquidation. It’s no surprise that officials in Kiev want to play it safe once again.
