Pryigon said that Russia must occupy Bakhmut.The city in Donetsk has faced the violent offensive of the Russian army for several months, but Ukraine defenders are still stubbornly resisting.
When asked if the Russian army was close to the city, Pleigo said, "Now that we are close to it, it may be too early. There are many ways to go out.Military training is plain, and like any big city, it is impossible to occupy it directly. We do well. "
Pryigo did not attack the Russian army leadership as in the past, but implied that the commanders were hiding behind, and the soldiers of the front line were obviously disconnected.
"If a general enters the trenches and talks with soldiers, then frankly speaking, in the current circumstances, the soldiers will be very surprised and happy. This is enough to make them understand that they are not fighting alone."
The United States evaluated that about 50,000 Wagner hired mercenaries to deploy to Ukraine, including 10,000 mercenaries and 40,000 criminals recruited from Russian prison.Porigen said in an interview that Wagner had stopped recruiting prisoners.He also denied treating these prisoners as cannon fodder. If he was calculated by percentage, the prisoners who died were roughly the same as other mercenaries.
