Wagner Chief's Betrayal: Abandoned Positions and Extraordinary Offers.

Russian troops replacing Wagner mercenaries in Bakhmut, Ukraine, are abandoning their positions out of fear, according to a Ukrainian officer. The Wagner Group, which has thousands of mercenary fighters and prisoners serving in Ukraine, has been feuding with Russia's traditional military. The battle for Bakhmut is considered the longest and bloodiest of the war to date. The head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, complained earlier this month that some of the main army's forces had "abandoned their positions" near Bakhmut.
