Prigozhin On Ukrainian counteroffensive: Huge Territories Given To Enemy

The head of the Wagner PMC also claims that the Ukrainian military is beginning to cross the Dnipro river.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine were able to capture several settlements in the Donetsk region and are moving towards the Molochny estuary (Zaporozhzhia region — edit.) This was stated by the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin, as he was answering the question about the course of the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

“We have Piatykhatky under the enemy, the northern part of Robotine is under the enemy, Urozhayne is under the enemy. And this suggests that huge pieces have been given to the enemy,” Prigozhin said.

According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are moving towards the Molochny estuary, and if they reach it, then “most of the territories that were captured during the so-called special military operation will be returned to the enemy.”

Prigozhin claims that the Ukrainian military is beginning to cross the Dnipro river, and not only the SRGs, but also regular Ukrainian troops appear in Hola Pristan.

“And all this is hidden from everyone. Russia will wake up one day and find out that the Crimea has already been handed over to the Ukrainians. There is a direct betrayal of the interests of the Russian Federation,” says Prigozhin.

He reiterated that the Russian army lacks ammunition and weapons, and there are heavy losses among the personnel. The units are staffed by 40-50%, Prigozhin said.

According to him, the price of the special operation is the total destruction of the Russian army, but the leadership is engaged in “rigging the facts” and sending “beautiful reports” to Moscow, deceiving the “supreme commander” and the “Russian people.”

“The counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine brings us serious losses and problems that are hushed up,” Prigozhin said.

“As of yesterday evening, or rather, tonight, I'm not talking about the losses of personnel, they are very significant, very — our men nailed 245 enemy tanks and approximately 678 armored vehicles of various types. Of course, there are Leopards, French wheeled armored vehicles, American armored vehicles — everything is there. They are burning pretty well,” Putin said today.
