The leader of the criminals from the Wagner PPK, Yevgeny Prigozhin, made a statement about leaving Bakhmut because of his intention to absolve himself of responsibility for the failures.

Andrey Chernyak, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, believes so.
Prigozhin will not lead the “Wagnerites” out of Bakhmut. These statements were made by him against the background of the fact that he cannot fulfill another promise to capture Bakhmut before May 9th. Therefore, he is now trying to make someone guilty of this, because he understands that he can no longer keep his word, ”Chernyak explained.
In addition, Ukrainian intelligence does not record any withdrawal of troops now in the Bakhmut area.
The Wagnerites do have certain problems with the provision of ammunition. But no matter how much they are given, it will not be enough for them,” Chernyak added.
Russia is struggling to bring Bakhmut under control until May 9th. For the sake of this, the Russians are pulling the “Wagnerites” from other directions and replacing them with assault detachments of paratroopers who are now fighting in the Bakhmut direction. The Ukrainian military is preventing them from breaking through the defenses, Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said on May 5.
The “Wagnerites” on the morning of May 5 announced that they would leave Bakhmut on May 10. Their leader Prigozhin says that the occupiers will do it because of the lack of ammunition. Their deliveries seem to be blocked by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
