[Head of Wagner: The situation of the Russian army in Bakhmut continues to deteriorate] Prigozin, the founder of the Russian Wagner mercenary group, severely criticized the Russian Ministry of Defense, saying that the situation of the Russian army in Bakhmut is deteriorating. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense acknowledged that its forces had retreated from the northern region of the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakmut, claiming they had moved to more favorable defensive positions. Prigozin said that "such euphemistic rhetoric is a gimmick" and the Russian Ministry of Defense must "stop lying." He called it a "non-tactical retreat", which simply means that some troops of the Russian Ministry of Defense escaped from the flank and left towards the Berkhivka reservoir (Berkhivka). He warned: "In general, this retreat has caused the Russian army to lose 5 square kilometers of positions in just one day. The Ukrainian army will maintain a distance of 500 meters from Bakhmut, or will occupy all tactical high ground, and has completely Recaptured the key supply route from Chasif Yar to Bakhmut". Prigozin also reiterated his earlier complaints about the lack of Ministry of Defense support as their flank collapsed.
