“9. Expect important news in Bakhmut soon.”

LOL we’ve been told this for the last 6 months!

I remember you posted similar articles from earlier in the year, similar theme things are bad , losses are bad , unnamed sources,

And yet we see videos daily on the front lines in bakhmut showing the complete opposite,the Russians have been stopped in bakhmut, Vuhledar, kreminna,

But yet we keep hearing the same opinions,

Hopefully kupol spends a lot of time shovelling **** for the next few months, lesson to be learned

I think there's something brewing with Prigozhin. I'd say the ukrainians sense that too. If they allow Prigozhin claim victory in Bakhmut he'll be more on his way for the crown. Prigozhin won't have the regal touch (posted in a way that Putin is still a mass murdering genocidal dictator) about him but be more blunt and more pressing in his threats. Prigozhin recording that clip means he thinks he's now untouchable. He's gone beyond and out the other side of the few Putin supporters posting sh1t posts about him.

The man knows how to work the cameras and rise emotions in people. By proposing business men pick up the tab for the families he's playing on the communist history group think distain of capitalist private business. The "common" people would be hugely in favour of this. Or should in his mind.

Except the things going against this stunt is there's no personal proposal to look after the families from Wagner funds. And the tags shown are all blank for camera.

Must have been one hell of an interview.

Fair play to the reporter. There's definitely a non-zero chance that they get killed or injured doing a report like this.

I've seen Orla Guerin and Lindsey Hilsum put themselves in similar danger on the front lines in the past few months. It definitely takes courage, considering unlike the soldiers, it's not their country that they're fighting for there - they're just doing a job.

I think we may be overhyping Prigozhin a little bit, in real terms. It may be a good thing to do in order to make Putin sweat and cause some internal discord to further hamper the Russian war effort, and I fully support that, but on the down-low, if Bakhmut were to give Prigozhin all this prestige, whoever the guy in charge of the Russian forces was when Sievierodonetsk was taken last year would surely get even more brownie points. If we're keeping score in that way, seven months to take Bakhmut with militarily unsustainable tactics isn't really that impressive. By comparison, the Russian shelling campaign of Summer 2022 seems almost deft and subtle and probably took more net territory and larger settlements.

The world is all about publicity and prestige. The man is as vain as Putin. Not vain as in golden palaces and designer clothes. But vain as in being seen to be the common people and getting things done.

Yeah, certainly food for thought.

Have belief young man.

If the head of one orc faction is complaining about an "ammunition famine", his words, not mine! You can be sure there's one side here that's in deep trouble.

But it's not him killing tens of thousands of Russian fighters (well it is), it's Ukraine and the war. He'll portray it as it's just the way it is and he'll sacrifice whatever needs be to finish the job. (Not his own life of course). When job is achieved, it's achieved.

When he's courting this much publicity and demanding more now he must feel like his tail is up with Bahkmut now and thinking further ahead to the Kremlin. Because otherwise none of this makes sense. There'll be another Bahkmut after Bahkmut is taken/not taken. But I don't think he's thinking about that or heart is for another one. He's like imo he sees this as the last job before easy street.

Something burning in Rostov again.

What's with the recent interest? An oil refinery was hit there, more recently an FSB headquarters, and now this. Trying to draw forces away from elsewhere?

Speaking of ammunition shortages:
