Prigozhin, in defiance of Putin, announced data on the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - in Kyiv they rejoice
The offensive in the Zaporozhye direction stopped due to high losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Ukrainian units have stopped offensive operations and are licking their wounds.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this today, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Oddly enough, at the moment we are seeing a certain calm. This is due to the fact that the enemy is suffering serious losses - both in personnel and in equipment. As of tonight, not to mention the losses of personnel, they are very significant, our men have destroyed 245 tanks and approximately 678 armored vehicles of various types.
Apparently, the enemy is now combining brigades that suffered serious losses into new units, restoring combat effectiveness, but, of course, fears the same large-scale losses in the future. Because this can lead not only to the loss of offensive potential, but also to the loss of combat effectiveness of the army as a whole.
But today we see that this offensive potential has not yet been exhausted; there are reserves that the enemy is thinking about where and how to introduce them. But thanks to the courage and heroism of our soldiers, the readiness of commanders to repel any aggressive actions against Russia, it seems to me that the enemy has no chance. They understand this, which is why they stood up now.
Although certain elements of hostilities are taking place, shelling, reconnaissance in force, but I repeat, no active offensive actions are being carried out yet,” Putin said.
However, the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that not only has the offensive not been stopped, but the Russian troops are rapidly losing territory, and Putin and the Russian people are simply being deceived about the progress of the hostilities.
Prigozhin was asked to comment on the statement by Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar that the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was “going according to plan.”
“We have Pyatikhatki under the enemy, the northern part of Rabotino under the enemy, Urozhaynoe under the enemy, and this indicates that huge chunks have been given to the enemy.
Further, above Tokmak in the village of Sadovoe there is an enemy, and God forbid, if it is some kind of single group of 50-100 people.
But there is no control, there are no weapons, there is no ammunition, soldiers write letters all day long saying that they need shells, they need anti-tank weapons, they need grenades and armor-piercing cartridges.
And therefore, our world is again divided into two realities. In one place, quietly from everyone, so that no one knows, so that not a single military officer gets there, any information is shut up, and the enemy moves towards Molochny Liman. If he reaches the Molochny Estuary, then most of the territories that were captured during the so-called NWO will be returned to the enemy.
The enemy begins to cross the Dnieper. The first DRGs, and from today, regular troops, appear from Gola Pristan. And all this is completely hidden from everyone.
Russia will wake up one day and find out that Crimea has already been transferred to the Ukrainians. There is a direct betrayal of the interests of the Russian Federation.
And all this is happening against the backdrop of losses, troops need to be replenished, a soldier cannot fight alone when the unit is short of personnel by 50-60%. He cannot stand alone on a line where two or three must stand.
All these figures are carefully hidden. All that the leadership of the special operation is doing today is juggling facts in order to transmit beautiful reports to Moscow.
And God bless him that they have long been accustomed to deceiving the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, they are misleading the Russian people. If this continues, we will be left without the main thing - without Russia...
The counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine brings us serious problems and losses, which are kept silent about, which the Russian people do not know about,” Prigozhin said.
Ukrainian channels happily picked up the statements of the head of the PMC.
Columnist Yuri Podolyaka believes that Prigozhin was simply “trolling” the Ukrainian official Malyar.
“Yes, today Evgeniy Viktorovich made a day. The sect of “witnesses of the digging of the Black Sea” simply has a state of collective orgasm. They are all seriously reposting Prigozhin’s trolling regarding Anna Malyar.”
At the same time, volunteer, machine gunner Yegor Guzenko, author of the Thirteenth tg channel, confirms Prigozhin’s gloomy statements, at least in relation to the settlement. Pyatikhatki.
“In the Zaporozhye direction (Pyatikhatki), everything is not as rosy as the military correspondents and sympathizers report,” Guzenko voiced the alarming news.
Russian military correspondent Dmitry Steshin, in contrast to Prigozhin’s statements, cites a conversation with a participant in the hostilities in the Zaporozhye direction.
The fighter claims that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are demoralized, while the defending Russians, on the contrary, are inspired by success.
“Infantry on dismoral is already specific for them, on the contrary, we realized that roosters can be used in batches for fertilizer, and the laudable Western equipment burns quite well + our kamikazes have learned to search for and destroy artillery, which is also a big plus, the intensity of their fire has decreased much.
They have a lot of strength, but word of mouth works, and everyone understands everything: the approximate number of losses, abandoned brothers-in-arms in the forest regiments, so I don’t think there will be much zeal, and equipment without people, if transformers are not sent to them, will not achieve success,” leads Steshin words of a Russian fighter.
