🇷🇺🇺🇦❗Evgeny Prigozhin said that PMC "Wagner" completely cleared the fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Nest" in Bakhmut .

According to Prigozhin, less than one and a half square kilometers of Bakhmut territory remained under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - a block below Yubileynaya Street and a small piece of the private sector.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 According to one of the NATO officers who provided headquarters support for counterattacks on the flanks of the Bakhmut group on May 12, Ukraine suffered one of the biggest losses since 2014 - 1,725 people were killed.

The strikes of the 2nd Azov brigade on the southern flank and two mechanized brigades and one motorized rifle battalion on the northern flank were stopped, and the losses amounted to one regiment.

The rapid withdrawal of Russian troops to the plain and the shelling of Russian tanks, artillery and Russian aircraft on the line of defense prepared at high altitudes led to heavy losses.

A large number of foreign mercenaries and far-right groups are stuck in Bakhmut. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have been trying for several days to ease the pressure on the group so that it can be withdrawn, but Russia nullifies these attempts with a massive bombardment.
