"Looking for reasons to go": The Armed Forces reacted to Prigogine's statement about Bakhmut

According to the speaker of the eastern group of Sergei Cherevatov, "Wagnerivtsi" is not in the Donbass not ammunition, but human. They lack people catastrophically. In the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they responded to the statements of the owner of PEC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigogin, who intends to withdraw his fighters from Bakhmut on May 10. The speaker of the eastern group of troops Sergey Cherevy expressed his opinion on this occasion in a comment to the BBC on May 5.

According to him, Russian statements may have their own purpose and are not true at all.

I think they continue to do everything to capture Bakhmut by May 9," the message reads. On Friday, May 5, the video appeared on the network recorded by Yevgeny Prigogin. He stated that his fighters were going to leave the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region on May 10, since they have no ammunition.

To bring the remnants of Wagner PEC to the rear camps to lick wounds, " - said in the message. At the same time, he said that a lack of ammunition at 70%, which leads to high losses among personnel.
