The representative of the Eastern Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Sergei Tserevaty, called incorrect the statements of the founder of the Russian mercenary organization Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, that Russian troops control more than 80% of the territory of Bakhmut.
In an interview with CNN, Tserevati commented on Prigozhin’s recent statements about the situation in Bakhmut. Its founder Wagner he stated that “in Bahamut, most of it, more than 80%, is under our control, including all administrative centers, factories, factories, city administration.”
“This statement by Prigogine is not true.“, Tserevati told CNN. “Just contacted the commander of one of the brigades that defended the city. I can say with confidence that the Ukrainian Defense Forces control a much larger percentage of it Bahamut“.
Tserevati did not specify what percentage of the city’s territory belongs to Pirgozin.
“Prygozhin needs to be shown at least some kind of victory in the city, which they have been trying to capture for nine months in a row, which is why he makes such statements,” said a representative of the Ukrainian military.
