Wagner mercenaries withdraw from Bakhmut.

The head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced that his troops have started transferring their positions in the eastern Ukraine city of Bakhmut to the Russian military. Prigozhin praised Ukraine's military for its commitment and abilities and conceded that around 10,000 prisoners he had recruited to fight in Ukraine had been killed on the battlefield around Bakhmut, making up half of his fighters who died there. Meanwhile, Russia continues to strike different targets in night raids, and Kyiv suffered a new mass drone attack last night.
