20 May 2023 at 15:02 Prigozhin: In control of all of Bakhmut The leader of the Russian mercenary group Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, claims that his forces now have control of all of Bakhmut. He made the statement in a video published on Telegram, writes Reuters. He also says that the Wagner group will leave the area from May 25 and give the city to the Russian military. The battle for Bakhmut has lasted eight months and is the bloodiest of the war in Ukraine. Prigozhin’s statement came a day after he said an imminent Russian conquest of Bakhmut was unlikely. No independent sources confirm the claim. A spokesman for the Ukrainian military rejected Prigozhin’s statement, saying fighting was still ongoing in the city.
