Russian Forces Suffer Setbacks in Bakhmut Battle

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner Group, has criticized the Russian defense ministry for lying about the situation in the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, warning that their actions will lead to a "global tragedy" for Russia. Prigozhin, who is a top ally for Russian President Vladimir Putin, has been involved in the months-long battle in Bakhmut against Ukrainian troops. He recently threatened to withdraw his fighters from Bakhmut due to a lack of ammunition and support from the ministry. However, reports suggest that Wagner Group forces are still holding most of the territory in Bakhmut and have stockpiles of ammunition.
