Wagner's Troops Gain Control in Bakhmut Offensive
TL;DR Summary
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group, announced that his mercenaries had transferred flanks near the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut to the Russian Defense Ministry. The Wagner Group has played a major role in Russia's attempts to seize the embattled city. Prigozhin indicated he was leaving the formal Russian military in a good tactical position in Bakhmut. Despite reports of Wagner's losses, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested last week he might order a Bakhmut withdrawal if his troops found themselves in danger of being encircled by Russian forces.
