Russian troops, led by Wagner mercenary squads, stepped up their attacks on Bakhmut on Thursday to crush Ukrainian army resistance in the heart of the Donbass city, which has been devastated after more than eight months of fighting.

“On the Donetsk front, Wagner detachments conducted intense military operations to oust parts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine central quarters of Artemovsk (Russian name bahmut)”, – said the representative of the Ministry of Defense. RussiaGeneral Igor Konashenkov.

In his daily report, the military pointed out that the Russian paratroopers were supporting the “Wagner” detachments from the flanks, thereby preventing not only the arrival of reinforcements to the Ukrainian troops, but also their withdrawal from the city.

Ukrainians resist and receive reinforcements

“I don’t know what is happening in the Canary Islands or in New York, but I know very well what is happening in Artemovsk. The Ukrainian army continues to pull up reserves and sends them to the city,” said Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin. in the published audio in Telegram.

The businessman emphasized that it was still premature to say that the city was surrounded, and clarified: “More than 80 percent bahmut is under our control, the rest of the units stubbornly resist.

In turn, Deputy Chief of the Operations Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces UkraineAlexey Gromov said that Russian troops continue to try to encircle bahmut from north and south.

Every day, the Ukrainian military added, the Russians make 40 to 50 assault attempts using all types of weapons.

“In just two weeks in the area of bahmutin Donetsk, the enemy lost 4,500 Wagner soldiers and regular army soldiers killed and wounded,” Gromov said in a statement compiled by the Ukrainian national news agency Ukrinform.

The data Prigozhin offers about the territory controlled by his mercenaries in the city is consistent with that managed by the American Institute for the Study of War, which puts it at 76.5 percent.

Does it improve the harmony between the mercenaries and the military?

Relations between the “Wagnerites” and the Russian army, which had been very tense for several months, seem to have improved, as in recent days military reports mention hired units by name.

The president RussiaAccording to Western media reports, Vladimir Putin recently arranged a meeting between Prigozhin and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to smooth over their differences.

“I don’t know anything about this,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a press conference today.

But what Peskov was sure of was that he refuted a New York Times story about infighting between the Ministry of Defense and the Federal Security Service (FSB, formerly the KGB). Russia.

“I don’t know what it is based on, but I doubt its veracity and the author’s understanding of the essence of what is happening inside Russia,” he said.

Victims, great unknowns

The FSB accuses the military of concealing the extent of its losses in Ukraine so as not to irritate the authorities, writes an American newspaper, which is based on some leaks in the US intelligence documentary networks.

“The FSB has estimated that the actual number of Russians killed and wounded in the fighting is approaching 110,000,” one leaked document says.

At the beginning of the month, the independent Russian media outlet Mediazona and the Russian-language service of the BBC, together with a team of volunteers, established the names and surnames of 19,688 Russians who died in Ukraine.

The latest official data on the dead in the Russian army in Ukraine is 5,937 and was proposed by the Department of Defense on September 21 last year, the same day that Russia Decree on the partial mobilization of reservists.
