Russian withdrawal in Bakhmut evidences Putin's "serious shortage of combat units"
The Ukrainian forces have endangered the flanks of the Russian troops around Bakhmut with a series of counterattacks, where they have managed to approach the city from the northwest and retake territory to the southwest.
“The flanks are crumbling, the front is collapsing and the attempts of the Ministry of Defense to somehow smooth the situation are leading and will lead to a global tragedy for Russia,” the head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, warned visibly upset on Friday.
This withdrawal of Russian troops would reveal the “serious shortage of combat units” that Putin has, according to the report published this Saturday by the British Ministry of Defense, since it is an area of “certain tactical importance” for Russia. .
